GA-6HZR A.C. GENERATOR — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (03/30/11) — PAGE 15

GA-6HZR — LOAD APPLICATION

Single Phase Load

Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator

and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and

frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the

generator for operating the equipment.

Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the

equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130—

150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as

the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and

starting system of the equipment.

NOTE

If wattage is not given on the equipment's

name plate, approximate wattage may be

determined by multiplying nameplate

voltage by the nameplate amperage.

WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE

To determine the running wattage for your load, multiply the

running wattage as indicated by steps 1, 2, and 3 below:

1. INCANDESCENT LOADS

Lights, heaters and similar appliances.

Total the running wattage and multiply by 1.

Example:

29 light bulbs @ 100W each = 2.9 KW

use a 3 KW generator.

2. SMALL MOTORS

Drills and other small power tools.

Total the running wattage and multiply by 2.

Example:

A 1 inch drill runs at 1 KW

use a 2 KW generator.

3. LARGE MOTORS

Submersible pumps, table saws etc.

Total the running wattage and multiply by 3.

Example:

A conveyor belt runs at 8 KW

use a 24 KW generator.

CAUTION:

Motors and motor-driven equipment draw

much greater current for starting than

during operation.

An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry

the required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn

out the appliance or tool and overheat the cable.

The idle control is operated at minimum load capacity of

100W. If the load capacity is less than 100W, throw the idle

control switch to the OFF position.
