How to calculate what size generator you need - powerlite

The ideal generator size is one that is correctly matched to power all the things you want to run at the same time. If it is too big, not only will it be more expensive to purchase, but it will not necessarily run as efficiently as the correctly matched size. If it is too small, some of your equipment may not give it maximum output, and consequently its lifespan may be reduced. We recommend using the calculator below to find out your ideal generator size. If you would like further information into how we calculate the right small 240v generator, please refer to the wattage worksheet below. Please note that the below wattages are simply a guide. For correct wattages, please check the specific power tool or appliance.
