how many appliances can a gas generator run at one time?

Answer 1

Your answer will depend largely upon what size generator you have, and what type appliances you plan to use. I have a 5500 watt generator for backup emergency use. It powers my deep well pump, septic pump, rec room lights, television, and computer, kitchen lights, hallway lights and plugs, fridge, freezer, microwave and toaster ovens, bedroom and bathroom lights, and the furnace. Initial startup is important as the generator will not support the surge current requirements all at once, but once up and running there isn't a problem. Ideally I'd have about a 8kW generator but I can't justify the expense of buying a replacement.

Answer 2

That is going to depend on the rating of your generator, even then you'll still have to do basic load calculations. A generator is rated in watts, 5000, 5500, 10,000, and so on. If your trying to size a generator for your house you should total the wattages of all the appliances that you will need to run, multiply your total by 125-150% and that is what you should need for a generator. Hope this helps

Answer 3

Depends on the watt output of the generator. I have a 3500 and runs everything in my house.
