Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting.

This means that the amount of electrical power

needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to

maintain its use.

Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps)

and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.

Check with your nearest dealer or service center with questions regarding power surge of certain appliances

or power tools.

■■

Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates require the same wattage to start as is

needed to maintain use.

■■

Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2

to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.

■■

Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.

■■

Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor and

its use. Once enough "surge" is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to 30%

of the wattage to continue running.

■■

Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For example,

a 5000 watt generator can power a 1800 to 4000 watt electrical tool.

■■

Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3

to 5 times the normal running wattage in order to start.

For example, a 5000 watt generator would

only be able to drive a 1000 to 1700 watt pump.

5. WATTAGE INFORMATION

To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage

figure of the appliance/tool by the amperage (amps) figure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps)

information can be found on a name plate which is normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.

NOTE

The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your specific appliance for

correct wattage.
