Determining Your Power Needs
There are two parts to determining your power
requirements. 1) The running watts required,
calculated by adding the running watts of each
of the appliances to be run and 2) Peak watts
required, calculated by adding the total running
watts needed to the highest level of surge watts
required (additional start watts).
