a 3000 watt generator can run appliance with peak watt below 3000
watt,
like electric generator, electric appliance are also rated in
watts, they have starting watts and running watt. Or simply the maximum watt and minimum power.
Most electric appliances
are rated using the running watt or the minimum watt, therefore it is
recommended to look for the maximum watt which always available on the user manual.
Most electric appliance
will start will maximum watt and run on the minimum or the rated watt.
Therefore 10w table fan
can have a 25watt starting watt, a 10 watt tablet charger can have
25watt starting watts, a 300 watt strimmer can have a 500watt starting watt a
600watt microwave can have 1700watt starting
watt. A 7500watt power shower can have a starting watt of 10500 watt. A
4 watt smart phone charger can have a starting
watt of 7watt.
Alternatively some
appliance have same starting and running watt for example a 3000watt hot water
immersion heater has a starting watt of 3000watt, a 400watt submersible water
pump can have a starting watt of 400 watt, a 500watt washing machine can have a
running watt of 500 watt.
Therefore it is recommended
that you check the manufacurers user manual for the above datas for each of
your appliances,
The value 3000 watt of the
generator is the running watt of the generator , in a simpler term is the load
the generator can support at a time.
What to do is to find the
total watt or power requirement of your home appliances , if it it is below
3000 watt then the 3000 watt generator can run it if above then you will have
make some choices.
Note that wen calculating
the power requirement or total watt always use the starting watt or the maximum
watt.
