What are generators used for?

Generators provide temporary electrical power. They are used on construction sites to run power tools and equipment, at outdoor events for lighting and sound systems, and as emergency backup power for buildings during a power outage.

How do I know what size generator I need?

You need to calculate the total wattage of all the tools, lights, and equipment you plan to run simultaneously. Add the 'starting wattage' (the extra power needed to start motors) for relevant equipment. Choose a generator with a 'continuous wattage' or 'running watts' rating that is higher than your total calculated need.

What's the difference between starting watts and running watts?

Running Watts is the continuous power the generator can supply. Starting Watts is the short burst of extra power required to start motor-driven equipment like saws or pumps. The generator's starting watt capacity must be high enough to handle these initial surges.

Can I run sensitive electronics on a generator?

For sensitive electronics like laptops or modern AV equipment, it's best to use an 'inverter generator.' Inverter generators produce 'clean power' with a stable sine wave, which prevents damage to delicate circuits. Standard generators can have power fluctuations that may harm sensitive devices.

Where should I place a generator during operation?

NEVER operate a generator indoors or in an enclosed space like a garage or basement. Generators produce deadly carbon monoxide. Always place them outdoors in a well-ventilated area, at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and vents.
