A Storm Cat 800 watt generator has a decimal rating of between 190 to 265 decibels depending on load and amperage. This is enough noise pollution to cause hearing damage after twenty minutes of exposure.
You can power any amount of devices that total to a sum of 800 watts. If you can not find the wattage on the devices nameplates then use the amperage of the devices. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. 800/120 = 6.6 amps. A total of 6.6 amps can be used from a 800 watt generator.
Since watts are equal to volts times amps it is hard to say if a 2000 watt generator will be enough. If you know the amperage of the A/C then using the formula Amps = Watts/ Volts. 2000/110 = 18 amps. If the A/C draws more that 18 amps then a 2000 watt generator will not be large enough. To find the generator size you will need, just use the same formula and try different generator wattages until you find one that is about 5 amps higher than the A/C amps.
It depends on the power requirements of the sump pump. A 2400 watt generator should be able to run a typical sump pump that requires around 800-1200 watts, but you should check the specific power requirements of your pump to be sure.
In this context, Watts are a measure of electrical power and lumens a measure of light output. So, depending on the efficiency of your light source the equivalency will vary dramatically. For example, a 60 watt conventional light bulb typically gives off 800 lumens. A frosted 60 watt bulb may only give off 500 lumens. A 13 watt CFL will give off that same 800 lumens, which is why 13 watt CFLs are often (erroneously) called 60 watt bulbs.
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.
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.

1200 Watt wiring is more than enough for an 800 Watt amp. The rating of the sub doesn't make any difference to the cables. If you want to use the sub to its rated power you should get a bigger amp. If the amp can only give out 800 Watts and the sub can take 1100 Watts then you can put a bigger amp on. It is still going to be loud as with an 800 Watt amp. I have a 300 watt amp with a 1200 Watt sub and people hear me coming.
The Generac 8000 generator will work fine with an RV. You may, in fact, want to even look into a lower wattage generator that would be just as sufficient for an RV, and save a little money.
yes/no
Yes!!!!! Do not try it unless you want to get to very hurt!!!!!!!!
as fast as it can

800 watt should be fine
Cost ranges from around one hundred dollars US for a tiny, off brand portable generator up to millions of dollars for large permanently installed generators. It really depends on the size and use. A typical 5000 watt portable generator you would use for camping and power outages at home costs around $500 - $800.
It is very loud especially at the front of the plane on takeoff :)
Yes
