Robin Subaru Generator - How to Calculate the Right Model

How to Calculate the Right Model is an important  consideration when planning your generator purchase.  A consumer may assume that a smaller space, or smaller square footage, would require a smaller generator, which seems quite logical.  However, this isn’t always the case.  It really depends on what exactly the generator will run and the individual wattage of each item.  A small home might run several  refrigerators, a freezer and multiple appliances while in comparison, a larger office might only need the lights and a few computers to remain on during a power outage.

How to Calculate the Right Model is actually very easy to do when given some thoughtful planning before hand.  As you might assume, you do need to check some numbers but a square footage number is not one of them.  The real consideration comes in when you decide exactly what your generator will be used for and which items you want to remain operational when the generator kicks in. 

To begin the actual process of How to Calculate the Right Model look for the silver tag on each appliance or item you wish to run.  This tag notates the wattage for that specific appliance.  Write each number down and multiply it by the number of units to be used.    Once you have determined this number, allow a margin of error for future power requirements.  This can be done by adding 10% to the total.   Some appliances require a surge of wattage to start but not as much energy to run.  For instance, washing machines, refrigerators and furnaces require a greater surge of wattage to start while coffeemakers, computers and TVs all run on constant wattage. 

When these factors are taken into consider as a whole,  determining How to Calculate the Right Model, is a quick and easy process. 

How to Calculate the Right Model in Volts, Amps and Horsepower

How do volts, amps, and horsepower play a part in How to Calculate the Right Model?  We know that we need to calculate the watts of each specific appliance to begin the process of How to Calculate the Right Model.   However, some items (appliances and tools) may list their power in volts and amps and horsepower might be listed for motor-driven equipment instead of watts.  It's easy to convert volts, amps and horsepower into watts with a few simple calculations as follows:

  • If volts and amps are listed on the item, multiply the volts and amps to determine the watts - Amps x Volts = Watts.
  • If horsepower is listed on the item, remember that - 1 HP = 746 Watts.  So, common conversions are as follows: 1/8 HP = 93 Watts, 1/4 HP = 186 Watts, 1/3 HP = 249 watts, 1/2 HP = 373 watts and 3/4 HP = 560 watts.  Take into consideration that motors may need 4 times as much power to start then when they are running.
