7. WATTAGE INFORMATION
Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power
needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use.

10
Cromtech Generator Operation & Instruction Manual
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/Hz, amperage (amps)
and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
Check with your nearest dealer or service centre with questions regarding power surge of certain
appliances or power tools.
•Electrical loads such as hot plates require the same wattage to start as is needed to maintain use.
•Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the indicated wattage during start-up.
•Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power requirements depend on the type of motor
and its use. Once enough “surge” is attained to start the motor, the appliance will require only 50% to
30% of the wattage to continue running.
•Most electrical tools require 1.2 to 3 times their wattage for running under load during use. For
example, a 5000w generator can power an 1800 to 4000w electrical tool.
•Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need 3
to 5 times the normal running wattage to start. For example, a 5000w generator would only be able to
drive a 1000w to 1700w pump.
