Best 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.

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 many 10000 watt bulbs can be run with a 10000 KW watt generator?

At full power, 1000 of them. Did you really mean 10,000 watt bulbs? They do exist, but they're not at all common, and it's hard to imagine where you'd need a thousand of them. Most theatrical lights, which are considerably brighter than home fixtures, have bulbs in the 500-1000 watt range at most, with a few professional-grade fixtures going up to maybe 2500 watts. A ten thousand watt bulb might be used in a lighthouse, or perhaps in a searchlight.
