STARTING POWER CONSUMPTION
Electronic appliances and brushed motors generally will not
draw more than running watts at start up. Induction motors in
equipment like air conditioners, welders, water pumps and
compressors can draw 2 to 5 times their running power to start.
Please consult your equipment’s rating label, manual or the
manufacturer to confirm specific requirements.
If only the running wattage is given on the nameplate for a
device with an electric motor, the starting wattage can
approximate to be three to five times the running wattage.
Estimates for the running wattage requirements for common
devices are listed below.
