You could run 30 low-energy lights, enough to light about three houses, or you could run about 10 laptop computers, or 2-3 tower-type computers. Also phone chargers, home audio and video recorders. Not high-power things like irons, convector heaters, kettles or cookers.
A 6500 watt generator provides 54 amps of power at 120 volts. Look on the label of the items that you want to power. Add the amps up and that tells you how close to overloading the generator they come. A drill may use 5 amps for example, so there is 49 amps of power left.
Watts are the product of Amps X Volts. If your generator produces 120 volts output then you can draw up to 54 of load. If your generator produces 240 volts output then you can draw up to 27 amps without tripping the generator breaker.
i have a 3500 watt portable generator and I was able to run an electric heater, the fridge, a ceiling fan and light, the TV, DVD player and a lamp all at the same time. However the same generator will barely run the electric coffee maker, and I have to unplug everything except the lamp to use my hair dryer-- these type of small appliances use a lot of watts-- because they heat up quick. The electric heater I used does oscillate so it has both a heating element and a motor for that too-- we had a gas range with no electronic ignition so we were able to cook and heat water and use the oven to bake stuff and make casseroles etc so that helped heat the house too.

A 3500 watt generator used in North America has two outputs. A single voltage of 120 volts or a 120/240 volt output. The larger size generators usually have the dual voltage outputs. Using the formula I = W/E, Amperage equals Watts divided by Volts we can calculate the amperage output of the generator. Single voltage generators will be 3500/120 = 29 amps. A dual voltage generator at 240 volts will be 3500/240 = 15 amps. To calculate what devices the generator will operate, add up all of the amperage's of the devices you would like to operate. If the added load is higher than the calculated output the generator breaker will trip. If the calculated load is lower than the calculated output of the generator, the connected devices will operate.
If there is a motor being connected to the generator keep in mind that you have to use the motors full load amperage and multiply it by a factor of 3. This is because when a motor first starts, the generator will be looking at an almost dead short, with a high amperage draw, until the motor starts turning. Once the motor starts turning the amperage drops down to its normal operating amperage.
Loads with totals of up to 5000 watts. These separate loads must not total more than 5000 watts or the generator breaker will trip. This breaker tripping will protect the generator from overloading the generator coils. With out this protection the insulation on the generator coils could be damaged and short out.
If there is to be a motor connected to the generator, special attention to the motor's amperage should be taken into account. Take the motors amperage and multiply it by three to accommodate the motor's inrush. Multiply that number by the voltage and it will give you the motors inrush wattage. If there is more than one motor, start the largest one first. If the motor starting wattage is below the maximum capacity of the generator then additional load can be connected up to the capacity stated on the generator.

What it can run?
Yes, you can plug a power strip into a generator to run multiple items.
A 1500 watt generator will do fine.
No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.
Check the wattage of the blow dryer and add 500 watt. This will be the size of generator you will need to use.
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.
Its 'a' generator ! And no, a generator still needs fuel to run
The factors that determine how long a propane generator can run are the size of the propane tank, the size of the generator, the brand of generator, and what is being used under the generator's power.
You need a 5.5kw generator to run a 5.5kw motor.
all the electrical machines can be run either as a motor or as a generator. but dc machines, A motor can be run as generator and vice versa with little modification
No, the generator is too small.
Yes, you can plug a power strip into a generator to run multiple items.
What KVA generator is needed to run 1 ton split?Read more:What_KVA_generator_is_needed_to_run_1_ton_split
yes
I think it can work with a certain type of generator and an electric motor like one that uses 300w/h The idea is to run a generator that can produce more electricity than needed to run the motor that is powering it.
How much KVA generator is required to run two AC of 1.5 tone
a big no
I have never tried, but as long as the generator is outputting the correct voltage, I don't see why not.
