  • Page 19 STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS Some appliances and tools will list on the motor nameplate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: Volts X Amp = Watts Example: 120 volts x 10 amps = 1200 watts To determine the approximate starting wattage requirement for most appliances and tools with inductive type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capacity.
