It depends on the rated output of the generator. A 2500 watt pressure washer should be powered by a generator with a rated output of at least 3000 watts to allow for start-up surges and ensure continuous operation without overloading the generator. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for power requirements before connecting any appliance to a generator.

What watt gearator to run a electric log splitter?
usually a 2500 watt generator is 2500 max 1250 watts constant, so if you could find a 1250 watt log splitter then yes, but it is hard to find such a wimpy log splitter, usually the 5 ton ones are at least 1500 watts, a 2500 max generator might be able to hold 1500 watts for a few seconds before it cut out, so it is possible, but a 4000 watt max generator (2000 watt steady) should be able to run a log splitter that takes up to 2000 watts without any hicups. by the time you bought both the generator and the electric splitter you could just buy a gas powered splitter instead.
Will 2500 generator run a laminating machine 240v 10a 50hz?
Yes. 240 volts at 10 amps is 2400 watts. The generator is 2500 watts maximum. If the generator is 2500 peak power it may not run it very long. If the continuous power rating is at least 2400 watts it should be OK.
How many amps does a 8000 watt generator supply?
In order to determine the amperage supplied by an 8000 watt generator, you need to know the voltage of the generator. You can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage. For example, if the generator operates at 120 volts, the amperage would be 8000 watts / 120 volts = 66.67 amps.
Can a 1 horse power motor run on a 2500 watt generator?
Maybe that motor can turn the generator, but you won't get 2,500 watts out of it. 1 horsepower is only 746 watts. <<>> A one HP motor draws 16 amps on 115 volts and 8 amps on 230 volts. Using the formula W = A x V = 16 x 8 = 1840 watts. It shows that the motor will run on a 2500 watt generator. Where the problem might arise is getting the motor to start. Generally a motor takes 300% of its running current to start. 16 x 300% = 48 starting amps. Back to the first formula W = 48 x 115 = 5520 watts. The 2500 watt generator is just under half of the wattage needed to start the motor. Try the generator, one of three things will happen, one the generator will stall, two the generators breaker will trip or three the motor will run. Some generators have a temporary overload output built into them that will allow the above generator rating output for a certain amount of seconds. If your generator has this feature then the motor will probably start.
Will a 2800 watt generator run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor?
Yes, a 2800 watt generator should be able to run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor. The generator's wattage is more than enough to power the motor with some extra capacity for other devices. Be sure to check the starting wattage of the motor as well to ensure the generator can handle the initial surge of power needed.
Can 1hors power motor run the 2500 generator?
A 1-horsepower motor can produce about 746 watts of power. If the 2500 generator requires more than this amount of power to operate, then the 1-horsepower motor would not be sufficient to run it. Typically, a 2500-watt generator would require a motor with a higher power output to function effectively. Therefore, it's unlikely that a 1-horsepower motor can adequately power a 2500-watt generator.

What size generator should I purchase for a two bedroom house?
A 6000 watt generator will keep your small appliances running. A 20000 watt generator will keep all your home appliances running during power outages, like the refrigerator, dryer, washer, etc. Of course the higher the watt, the more expensive the generator, so it really depends how many outages you have in your area and how much money you are willing to invest.

Can a 1000 watt generator run a 1500 watt ceramic heater?
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
If you mix a 1000 watt speaker with a 2500 watt speaker will they make a 3500 watt speaker?
No.
Will a 3000 watt generator power a 15 amp circular saw?
Yes, you can use up to 25 amps on a 3,000 watt generator.
Where can i buy a decent gas generator for cheap?
Sears carries a large selection of portable generators and depending on the purpose you may get a 1,000 watt generator for as low as 164.99. A 1,000 watt generator would be good for camping or light operation. If you need something with a little more power you can get a 2,000 watt for 269.99 and a 4,400 watt generator for 399.00.
How many 600 Watt light bulbs can be lit with a 300 watt generator?

Will a 500 watt generator run a hair dryer?
Most hair dryers are rated at least 800 watts to as much as 1875 watts. Given that, a 500 watt generator will NOT run a hair dryer. You would need at least a 2000 watt generator, just be be on the safe side.
