Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 10000/120 = 83.3 amps can be used at 120 volts. On a generator that large it is most likely that it also has the capacity to produce 240 volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps can be used at 240 volts. What you can connect to the generator will be totals of the amperage of devices that do not go above these amp ratings.

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.


What size generator would you need to run a 300 watt pa sound system for a few hours?

A 300 watt audio system means it has a peak power of 300 watts but the average power might be only a fraction of that, perhaps 5-10 watts. So it might run off a car battery, with an inverter to supply the correct voltage if needed. <<>> A 300 watt public address sound system will operate very nicely from as small as a 500 watt AC generator. A 1000 watt generator will give you more capacity if there are other devices that need powering.


How long can a 3000 watt generator power a TV?

A 3000 watt generator can run from 8 to 20 hours on a single tank of fuel, depending on how heavy the load is. This type of generator employs an Eco system where if the load is shut off, the generator slows down to an idle state and stays there until the load is sensed again. On re sensing the load the generator speeds up to its rated output. Since a TV is on the very light end of the load, the generator should remain operating on the top end of the hours scale.


What can you run on a 900 watt generator?

A 900 watt generator can typically run small appliances such as a refrigerator, fans, lights, computer, and some power tools. It may not be able to power larger appliances like air conditioners or washing machines. It's important to check the specific power requirements of each device before connecting them to the generator.


How many hours will a Honda 8000 watt generator run with 2 gallons of gas?

It will vary with the connected load. The higher the connected load the harder the engine has to run to keep the frequency at a standard value. The harder the engine works the more fuel it will consume. These types of specifications can be found in the operation manual that comes with the engine.

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.


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.


Can you run your electric clothes dryer from your 7500 watt generator?

Yes, you can run an electric clothes dryer from a 7500-watt generator, provided that the generator's output is sufficient to handle the dryer's starting and running wattage. Most electric dryers require between 3000 to 6000 watts to operate, but they may need significantly more power (up to 8000 watts) for a short burst when starting. It's essential to check the specifications of both the dryer and the generator to ensure compatibility and avoid overloading the generator. Additionally, proper connections and safety precautions should be observed when using the generator.


Can a 5000 watt generator run your furnace?

Not if the furnace exceeds 5000 watts.


Will a 1000 watt generator run a 5000 btu air conditioner?

yes


Will a 8000 BTU air conditioner run on a 900 watt generator?

An 8000 BTU air conditioner typically requires between 700 to 1000 watts to operate, depending on its efficiency and design. A 900-watt generator may be able to power the air conditioner during startup, but it might struggle to maintain operation, particularly if the AC draws more power initially. Additionally, the generator's continuous output capacity should be considered, as running the AC at or near the generator's maximum output can lead to overloading and potential damage. It's advisable to use a generator with a higher wattage capacity for reliable operation.

How much can you power on a 1600 generator?

If the 1600 represents 1600 watts like most generator numbers do, then the generator can deliver enough power to run a 1600 watt load connected to it.
