Generator Sizing Calculator

This calculator is designed to estimate the power consumption of a job site. The generator should be
oversized to compensate for starting motor loads and other items which may have been forgotten. Always
consult a sales person prior to purchase. To use this calculator, select the wattage of the appliances you
wish to use. Enter the quantity of each appliance. This will provide you with a sub-total, this number can be
modified for your convenience. All of the sub-totals are then totaled at the bottom.
