8.1 CAPACITY:
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts for your requirements.
8.1.1 Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same
time.
8.1.2 Add up the running watts of these devices. This is the
amount of power you will need to keep your items running.
8.1.3 Identify the highest starting wattage of all the devices
identified in step 1, add this number to the number
calculated in step 2.
Note: Surge wattage is the extra boost of power needed to start
some electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under
“Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will be
started at a time.
8.2 POWER MANAGEMENT:
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage
to watts:
Volts X Amps = Watts
