Small generators are sized in watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. To properly answer this question a voltage for your 10 amps must be stated. That said small generator outputs are usually 120/240 volts in North America. So 10 amps at 120 volts equal 1200 watts. 10 amps at 240 volts equal 2400 watts. A 3000 watt generator will be amply for your 10 amp load.

How large a 110 volt generator is needed for a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger?
amps*volts=watts 40 amps *12 volts= 480watts watts/volts=amps 480watts/110volts=4.36363636amps So you need a 110 volt generator that can produce about 5 amps as a bare minimum. To take into account system heat loses that occur when converting power consider doubling it to be safe. (this is over kill but the advantage is that your generator is not working at full capacity at all times)
If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?
Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.
How many amps does a 18000 watt generator supply at 240 volts?
75 Amps theoretically Need to know if the generator is 3 phase or single phase.
Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?
If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.
What appliances will a 5000 watt generator run?
To answer this question, you will have to add up the wattage's of the appliances that you think need to be run on emergency power. Keep in mind that an appliance with an electric motor will need more power to start the motor than what it operates at. Some amp ratings for fractional HP motors at 115 volts are 1/6 = 4.4 amps, 1/4 = 5.8 amps, 1/3 = 7.2 amps, 1/2 = 9.8 amps and 3/4 = 13.8. If the motors are 230 volts divide each amperage in half. To convert these motor amperage's into watts use the following formula. Watts = Amps x Volts. Starting an appliance with a motor on this size of generator will definitely drag the voltage down momentarily. The closer that you get to the generators capacity, the more the generator struggles to keep the voltage up. When the generator gets to this amount of overloading usually the generator breaker will trip. With too much load you can actually stall the generator and it will stop turning.

Does 1000 amps generator can run chest freezers?
Just wondering what you mean... Perhaps you meant a 1,000 WATT generator, in which case the answer would probably be "No". That's not enough capacity to run most freezers at start-up. If you actually did mean a 1,000 AMP generator, you would need to specify the voltage and amps or the watts of the generator and current draw of the freezer in question before anyone could answer your question. Since most home chest-type freezers operate on 115 VAC, that would mean that if your 1,000 AMP generator produced 115 volts, it would need to have a capacity of 11,500 watts. That's a pretty big home generator. You'll need to research the start-up requirements of your freezer and both the peak and continuous load capacity of the generator.

I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?
Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...
How many output amps is a 75 KVA generator?
It depends upon the Generator system voltage. For 3 Phase, 600 Volt system, it will be 73 Amps For 3 Phase, 480 Volt system, it will be 90 Amps For 3 Phase, 208 Volt system, it will be 208 Amps
If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?
The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
What size generator 1200 amps?
First you need to specify what voltage you require the generator to supply...Lets Assume its 240 Volts AC. Watts=Volts x Amps so 240x1200= 28.8 Kw. Then you have to take the efficiency of the generator into account. Mechanical power in is usually quite a bit more than the electrical power you get out...The difference is mostly the mechanical and thermal losses added together. If we say the generator is 70% efficient then you will need a generator 30% more powerful to supply a constant 1200 Amps...Thats a generator of about 38-40 Kw.
