Here are a few ways to determine power requirements for various loads that are expected to be powered by a typical generator.
Method 1, using estimating charts, can be used to get a general idea of the generator size.
Method 2, reading the motor data tag, is more accurate since the data tag information is provided by the motor manufacturer. Data tag information does not always show STARTING power requirements for REACTIVE type loads. See "CODE CHART" at the end of this page.
*Note: Data tag information can usually be found in the owners / operating manual as well.
