Slowly increase the throttle until the needle in the generator voltmeter is at or above the black line in the green area. 2. Applying a Load It is important to determine the total electrical load before it is connected to the generator. - Page 10 4. Starting Electric Motors Electric motors require much more current (amps) to start than to run. Some motors, particularly low cost split-phase motors, are very hard to start and require 5 to 7 times more current to start than to run. Capacitor motors are easier to start and usually require 2 to 4 times as much current to start than to run.
