![]() To determine the size of generator to get, you'll need to consider what you want to run off of it. Your generator needs to be sized to provide enough power for all the loads at once. Your house is similar, in that there are some big loads that run for short periods of time (AC being the biggest usually), and then there are some small loads that run for much longer (cable boxes, lights, etc). They use the same amount of electricity because the smaller load is on for much longer. ![]() But, the second needs a bigger generator since the load is bigger (2400W vs 100W). This uses 2400W * 1hr / day * 30 day / month = 72kWh.ĭoing an average usage as you did, you would incorrectly assume that both scenarios need the same size generator. ![]() A 2400W heater that runs one a day for an hour.This uses 100W * 24hr / day * 30 day / month = 72 kWh for the month. ![]()
