you will need 1-15 amp circuit 120 volts with 14 guage romex wire for lights / you will need 1- 20 amp circuit with 12/2 romex going to receptacle that microwave will plug into in Virginia this has to be a dedicated circuit meaning nothing else but microwave can be plugged into this receptacle. the same rules apply also to the washer and the refrigerator as the microwave. the t.v. also should have 1-20amp receptacle to plug in to but this doesn't have to be a dedicated circuit and other items can be plugged into this receptacle such as vcr's lamps etc. you did not say whether you were planning on having a 120 volt air conditioner or a 230 volt a/c but either way you will need a dedicated circuit with either 1-20amp receptacle using 12/3 romex wire or 1-30amp receptacle using 10/2 romex wire. be sure to match your breaker size to your wire size 14/2 wire size = 15amp breaker 12/2 wire size = 20amp breaker and 10/2 wire size = 30amp breaker. so if this is a new install you will need a total of 6 new breakers i can not give you the wattage or power consumption for anything but the lights which will pull about 500 watts if all on at the same time pulling about 4.3amps

How To Defrost Meat In A Microwave Oven?
Microwave ovens have changed the way people eat. Thanks to this simple machine, people can easily cook and reheat a variety of foods. But microwave ovens serve other purposes as well. One common function of a microwave oven is the ability to defrost meat. Normally, people defrost meat in a refrigerator. However, that requires a lot of panning. It could take at least a day for meat to thaw in a refrigerator. If you forget, your best choice is a microwave. Leaving meat out can lead to bacteria. However, a microwave oven can safely defrost any type of meat in quick fashion. Here is a guide on how it works.The first thing you have to do is get your meat ready. Take the meat out of its container and place it on a plate you can use in a microwave. Alternatively, you can use a bowl or other dish that is suitable for a microwave. Make sure you wash your hands before and after handling raw meat, even if it is frozen. Bacteria can easily spoil any dinner. Once you have the meat on a plate, place it in to the microwave. There is no need to cover it when you are defrosting. Most microwaves have a defrost setting. When you push this, it will prompt you for a type of meat. You can choose beef, poultry, or fish.Once you make your selection, you should enter the weight of the meat. Normally, you can find this on the packaging. If you don't have the packaging, weigh the meat on a small scale. If that is not an option, give a good ballpark estimate. If you have a microwave that doesn't give you the option of entering the type of meat or weight, you can manually enter. A good rule of thumb is to defrost meat for about nine to ten minutes for each pound. After half of the time goes by, open the microwave door. It is a good idea to turn your meat over. Once you do this, close the door and continue defrosting.Once you are done defrosting your meat, it is best to start your cooking process right away. If for some reason you can't, place the meat back in the refrigerator. Leaving meat out is a bad idea. Again, bacteria can swarm the meat before you know it. If you aren't going to cook right away, cover the meat in plastic and put it in the refrigerator until you are ready.
How many watts does a puron air conditioner have?
Puron is a trade name for an environmentally friendly refrigerant (freon). The amount of power an air conditioner would consume is mostly dependant on the size (capacity) and the conditions under which it is operating. A rough estimate for an air conditioner is 1.4 horse power per ton (12000 BTUs), and one horse power is 740 watts.

Perhaps because manufacture has moved to countries where this is the normal way of measuring and quoting volume. The manufacturers must have decided to do it.
Can any one tell how the capacity of a refrigerator converted from liters to tons?
Maybe your thinking of "tons of refrigeration" which is the cooling load of the refrigerator. Not to be confused with the volume or weight of the fridge. If you can find the insulation values (R number) of the fridge, using fairly simple HVAC equations, you can estimate the required cooling load for your desired temperature.
What is an estimate for a 5 ton central air conditioner?

What size generator do you need to run a well pump and a refrigerator-freezer?
Depends on the refrigerator. There should be a sticker on the inside of the fridge that lists the power requirements. Make sure the generator rating is RMS and not peak. You can use a generator wattage calculator to estimate the total wattage you would need to power your "must have" appliances during a power outage. This way you can estimate the generator size (in watts) you would need to power them.
