How to calculate the generator

Use of the generator in house conditions is very favorable, but before buying this device, it is necessary to calculate exact value of power consumptions. Excess or insufficient values are unacceptable.

Instruction

1. If you were going to buy the generator, at first decide on its optimum power. In order that all electric devices could work smoothly, calculate total number of kilowatts which they will burn at the same time (these maximum parameters can be found in technical documentation at each goods) then already go to shop.

2. Before calculation of the maximum power think of what devices will be connected first of all: from all, available in the house, you for certain need only part. Summarize the power of these heating devices. By all means include electric stove and various heaters in their number (buttered, ventilating, etc.). The included on maximum, such equipment can consume enormous quantity of the electric power.

3. After you have decided on the list of the electric devices needing priority connection to the generator think of those which the loading lay down on the power supply network (working from it too). It is possible to carry fluorescent lamps, drills, fridges, modern TVs and computers to them.

4. Such devices at inclusion consume rather large number of the electric power too therefore load of network at launch of these devices will be very big.

5. Do not forget about what many electric devices have both the period of active loading, and time of passive consumption – these two modes can periodically alternate.

6. As soon as all devices have been considered, the maximum and total number of kilowatts of the electric power consumed by them develops. To exclude possibility of errors and mistakes, add to the received sum of 15-20% and round to integer. Thus, you will calculate maximum load on the future generator.

7. If all your advantage are certain, then you buy those goods which will serve long, regularly performing the function.
