Appliances without any indication as to power consumption
Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is
indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to
be
worked out according to the numerical formula
mentioned below.
(Output
of
electrical appliance)
(Efficiency)
=
(Power consumption)

A
40W fluorescent lamp means that its luminous output
is
40W.
Its
efficiency
is
0.7
and
accordingly, power consumption will be 40
+
0.7=
57W.
As
explained in
Item(2),
multiply
this power consumption value
of
57W by
1.2
-
2 and you will get the figure
of
the necessary
capacity of a generator. In other words, a generator with a rated output
of
1000Wcapacity
can light nine to fourteen 40W fluorescent lamps.
Generally speaking, a
400W
motor means that its work load
is
400W. Efficiency of this
motor is
0.7
and power consumption will be
400
+
0.7= 570W. When this motor
is
used for
a motor-driven tool: the capacity of the generator should be multiple of 570W by 1.2 to
3
as
explained
in
the
Itern(3).
