Will a 2000 watt peak power 1400 watt rated power generator run a refrigerator built in 1999?

It could run a small one. You need to check the rating on the refrigerator. There is a surge at stating so take that into account.

Yes it will. The 2000 watt peak is what is used to compensate for motor inrush. That allows 11.5 amps for a continuous load. Thank You for your answer.

∙ 15y agoA 1000 watt generator can produce 8.3 amps at 120 volts. Check the current draw of your appliances to see if it is within the 8.3 amp limit. Motor loads close to the current limit might actually stall your generator. This is because motor loads draw up to 300% FLA on start up.

∙ 14y agoYou will have to obtain the wattage of the fridge and freezer. If they fall within the wattage of your generator then the generator will handle them both. If they fall close to the limit of the generator then you may be able to start one and then start the other, (stagger the starting). When doing this check that the generator voltage does not fall below the appliance's working voltage. If it does then disconnect one of the appliances.

Can you power a tv refrigerator and 60 watt light buLB at the same time with a 400 watt generator and for how long?
If the TV and refrigerator together use (are rated at) less that 340 watts, then the generator will power them until it runs out of gas. It would have to be a very small, efficient refrigerator as they're usually high current devices. The TV would also have to be small and efficient, but that would be easier to find.
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.
What size generator would you need to power a 200 amp tig welder?
Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
220 volts 60 hertz to 220 volts 50 hertz?
Original Answer:If the power was being generated by a generator all that has to be done is slow the RPM of the generator down until the frequency meter reads 50 Hertz. On a hydro site it would be the same scenario by slowing the turbine down.Improved Answer:changing frequency is one of the more difficult things to do. Decreasing the speed of a generator is not a practical answer if the power comes from grid. You can use a variable frequency drive, or a motor generator set (Where the motor is rated for 60HZ, and the Generator is rated at 50 Hertz).For practical purposes, just get rid of the 50 hertz device and buy a new one.
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 kind of home generator is highest rated?
The ETQ PG30P11 Portable Generator is a great generator and is very efficient. It will generate power for your whole house and is very helpful during a natural disaster.
What is the best brand for power generator that I can buy on the internet?
The following website has a list of the top ten rated generators. In addition to this list, I have seen other references to the Champion brand being a top rated generator. http://www.squidoo.com/top-rated-backup-generators
How to compute the minimum load of 16 MW generator?
A generator, rated at 16 MW, should be able to continuously supply a load of 16 MW. You don't need to compute its 'minimum load', because the minimum load will be zero watts! In other words, you can run the generator with no load whatsoever if you wish to waste fuel.The point is that the power supplied by a generator is determined by the load, NOT by the generator itself -so it is important that the generator is capable of supplying the maximum load applied to it. A generator's 'rated power output' simply tells us the maximum load it is capable of supplying.
Why the transfermer rating is in KVA where as generator rating is KW?
Transformers are rated based on the amount of current flowing through them, irrespective of whether the current is in phase with the voltage or not, thus KVA. When it comes to generators, what the owner is interested in is how much real power the generator can deliver (watts). Most generators are rated at a specific real power and a power factor (often .95).
Can you use home generator to power arc welding machine?
As long as it is rated for wattage output for required voltage for welding machine
Can we improve generator power factor for increasing active power?
The 0.8 Power Factor provided by generator manufacturers is not the load power factor, but it is the nominal power factor used to calculate the kW output of an engine to supply the power for a particular alternator kVA output. Alternators are therefore designed to supply their rated kVA at 0.8 lagging power factor.
Is it possible to generate more power than the capacity?
The "capacity" of a generator, or equipment in general can be limited by two things: the physical ability to push power, or some other limitation such as current carrying ratings (of conductor, busswork, generator coils, etc.). So yes, it is possible, if a generator can generate more power than a specific piece of equipment is rated to handle.
What happens at the rated value of the voltage of the generator?
The rated voltage of a generator decreases due to many causes such as armature reaction, overloading of the generator and AVR failure/ weak excitation voltage.
In order to provide the power for a heater and lights which device would be appropriate?
Suitable rated separate circuits with MCBs are advisable.
How can you colculate ampere of 375kva generator?
To find the rated current output of the generator, you must divide 375 kV.A (not 'kva') by the machine's rated voltage.
