Calculating total power provided by generator.
(See Section 11 − Generator Power Guidelines)
Each receptacle can provide the watts or amps as shown
above. However, the total power can not exceed 3500W.
The rating plate on electrical apparatus will contain the watts
consumed or the rated input amps. Watts may be calculated by
multiplying the rated voltage by the rated input amps.
watts = volts x amps

Unless otherwise stated, the rating of duplex outlets is the combined load of all
receptacles.
