How Much Juice to Produce?
Yes, you can find various wattage calculators online. However, Electric Generators Direct.com stopped using them several years ago because they are rarely accurate.
Since recreational generators produce limited wattage, it's vital to know the exact wattages of your appliances -- not some online estimate.
There are two simple ways to determine the wattage of your appliances:
1. Data Plate
The easiest way is to just look at the data plate on the back of your appliance. It will tell you how many watts, amps and volts are required to power the appliance.
2. Wattage Meter
You can also use a wattage meter to measure the EXACT amount of power. Simply plug the appliance into the wattage meter. Then plug the wattage meter into the wall to get an accurate measurement.
