  1 Question
Q: What do I need to consider when running a computer or LCD television off of my portable generator? I currently have a 10hp Briggs and Stratton powered Craftsman generator.
by Virgil Litterell from Oklahoma on February 07, 2011

A: The main thing to consider is the entire load you are connecting to your generator. The rule of thumb is to size the generator to 80% of the running capacity of the generator so that it has enough flexibility when a large load kicks on (refrigerator) the generator has enough power to handle it and not have to struggle which keeps the ability to output good voltage. It is the voltage drops that can damage/hurt sensitive electronics so it is important to not overload the generators.

 Got it as insurance due to power outages

I got this unit as insurance because I have lost power several times over the last year. I did start it though- it started on the first pull.

It was a bit noisy, but I guess they all are. I am having an electrician in soon to put in a transfer switch.

I also want to build an enclosure to protect it a bit from the snow and rain.

EGD RESPONDS: When you build the enclosure, please make sure you have vented the heat and emissions from the exhaust safely!
