what can i run with a 5000 watt generator



 a 5000 watt generator simply means the  load this generator can hold.  A generator usually has wo ratings, he starting watts and the running watts, the starting watts is the amount of power it require to kick start while the running watt is the amount of load it can run at a particular time.
Likewise electric home appliances are also rated in the same way, they have both starting watt and the running watt, the starting watt is the power they require to start while the running watt is the energy they expend when switched-on.
 To find what  appliance your 5000 watt generator can run is to first  find their respective wattage. Meaning their respective starting and running watt.
 For example for example a 10 watt  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.
What you need to do is to find the sum of the total starting watt of your some appliance if they are all below  5000 watt , then a 5000 watt generator can support them. And if their total starting watt is more than 5000 watt, then you will have choose what and what appliances to run  at a time.
 You can get  any device power requirement in the user manual
