How to Select the Right Backup Power Generator
If you’re unsure which petrol generator is best for your needs, follow these steps to make the right choice:
- Make a List of What You Need to Power
Determine which devices, appliances, or tools you want to run during an outage or outdoor activity. Include essentials like lights, electronics, or medical equipment if necessary.
- Check the Starting Wattage of Each Appliance or Tool
Starting wattage differs from the running wattage and is usually higher. Check your appliance’s manual to find the required starting watts.
- Calculate Your Total Power Needs
Add up the total running watts needed to power your appliances, then include the highest starting wattage from your list. This total wattage will guide you to the most suitable petrol-powered generator.
Frequently Asked Questions about Power Generators
Can I Use a Portable Generator as a Backup During a Power Outage?
Yes, a portable petrol generator can serve as a backup during an outage, allowing you to plug in household appliances and devices. However, do not connect it directly to an outlet. For safe use, have a certified electrician install a power transfer switch compliant with electrical codes.
What’s the Difference Between Rated Watts and Maximum (Surge) Watts?
Rated watts are the continuous power output the generator can maintain, while maximum (surge) watts refer to the short-term power needed to start motors. For example, the power surge when a motor starts up falls under maximum wattage.
