This worksheet will aid in determining the generator that best fits your needs based on the appliances/tools you
wish to power simultaneously! The larger the generator, the more items you may power at once.
To Determine the Generator you Require, Follow these Four Easy Steps Below:
1.) Use the "Personal Power Requirements" Chart below, the list the tools/appliances you plan to power simultaneously. Fill in the
required Rated (Running) Watts and Starting Watts using the "Wattage Reference Chart" on the previous page.
2.) Sum the Rated (Running) Watts and list the total in the "Total Running Watts" space provided on the "Personal Power Requirements"
Chart.
3.) Review the Starting Watts of each item on your "Personal Power Requirements" Chart and choose the largest value. List this value in
the "Largest Additional Starting Watts Required" space provided.
4.) Add the " Largest Additional Starting Watts Required" to the "Total Running Watts." List this value in the "Total Starting Watts" space
provided.

For this Example, a Generator with a minimum of
___2175___ Total Running Watts and ___2425___
Total Starting Watts is required.
I Require a Generator with a minimum of
__________ Total Running Watts and __________
Total Starting Watts is required.
Comments
* If the Rated (Running) Watts or the Starting Watts of a tool/appliance is unavailable, use Watts = Voltage * Amps as an estimation.
* If the Rated (Running) Wattage is known, the Starting Wattage can be estimated. Starting Watts = 1 to 3 Times the Rated Watts
* Only one Starting Wattage is needed because only one item will cycle or start at the same time
NOTE: These Values are Estimates. Check Tool/Appliance for Exact Wattage Requirements
