Guide
Choose the correct generator for your needs
 
1. First of all decide whether you want to run a petrol, diesel or LPG gas converted petrol generator.
2. Determine the power (Kw) required to run all of your equipment at any one time. All electrical products will have a data label with the power usage.
See notes below if there are appliances with electric motors or sensitive power equipment eg computers.
3. Calculate the total amount of power required.
4. Choose a generator that either meets this total - or exceeds it, to allow for extra scope. 
 
NOTES
 
Electric Motors
Items with electrical motors for example washing machines, water pumps, fridges, freezers require a greater starting up wattage.
 
A normal guidelne rule for example is a water pump of 750 watts with a capacitor start circuit will require three times of power on start up. So 750 watts x 3 times = 2250 watts, a generator of minimum 2.3 kw power is then required.
 
Most hand held power tools using universal commutator motors do not require additional starting up power.
 
Sensitive Equipment
It is not advisable to run for example, computers from a standard generator. A generator that has AVR - Automatic Voltage Regulation, like the Loncin series, have a more stable electrity output, but, it is still advisable to use an anti surge device as recommended by computer manufacturers.
