Determining the portable generator that will deliver enough
power
Because different models of portable generators are capable of
delivering different amounts of power, it is important to choose
one that will deliver enough power, or even slightly more power
than you need.
To do this you will need to know what appliances you plan to
operate simultaneously from your generator and then determine
how many watts they need to operate. This information will be
listed on a label somewhere on the appliance in most cases or in
the user manual. Keep in mind that the wattage required to start
an appliance is often higher than what is required to operate
it. To compensate for variance you should utilize a portable
generator that can handle an operating load at least 10% higher
than you anticipate needing.
By choosing the most effective Yamaha portable generator for
your needs, you will reduce your costs, weight and space
required while maintaining enough power to meet your needs. You
will also extend the life of your generator by not overworking
it, and in some cases, the life of the appliances that are
running off of it because some types of appliances can be
damaged when operated without enough power.
