How to Select a Home Standby Generator
Blizzards, Ice Storms, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, a careless driver striking a power pole — there is no end to the natural and man-made disasters that can shut the power down at your home. In the past people would light some candles, fire up the gas stove, and tough it out. But now, with most homes being nearly 100% electric, losing power can be more than an inconvenience; it can be life-threatening. Generators are sold by wattage rating. If you were absent from school on that day, you might not know that wattage is sort of the electrical equivalent to horsepower. Remember Ohm’s law? Don’t worry, I didn’t either. Anyway, Watts = Volts x Amps and Amps = Watts/Volts. While theoretical knowledge is a wonderful thing, here’s some more practical information to help you select the right home standby generator for you. Of course, if they list the watts, then you’re all set — almost. Electrical motors require up to four times as much wattage to start up than they do to keep running. It’s got something to do with inertia and friction, but I was absent on that day as well. So, a good rule of thumb is to multiply the wattage on the label (or the wattage that you calculated) by 4 if you’re dealing with any electrical appliance that has a motor. The first thing to remember is that the maximum wattage for anything motor-driven is only used when the motor first starts up. Moments later it drops down to the normal running wattage. So, you need to select a generator that outputs enough wattage to handle the appliance with the highest startup rating. Then, simply make sure no two appliances are started at the same moment and you can dramatically cut down your calculation. The second thing to remember is that the total of the running wattage column is only an issue if you plan to run every appliance, all at the same time, and all day and night. So you see, by simply mapping out a reasonable power management schedule...
