TYPICAL MOTOR WATTAGE
The following chart gives examples of various types of motors in both
running amps and starting amps. These charts are guides but always
check the actual nameplate of your motors.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using extension cords, voltage drops can
cause damage to equipment being run by the generator. #12 wire is
rated at 20 amps maximum and with a 100 foot extension cord, there
will be at least a 7 volt decrease. Extension cords longer than 100 feet
will have even larger voltage decreases. It is strongly recommended to
always use #10 wire extension cords which are rated at 30 amps, The
useful life of your generator and the equipment you operate will
decrease when using #12 extension cords. See the extension cord
chart.
