lmao- a 5 kw only pulls 12.5 amps@220.. example- a 5 ton AC pulls aprox 70 amps at start, and 28 amps running— thats just the AC dummie— a avarage home has 200 amp main breaker
Huh?
Dummie?
Name calling already?
A generator doesn’t pull anything, it supplies.
5.5 kW at 220 volts is 25 amps. The math is staight forward.
A small window unit is not even close to 5 tons of A/C.
You don’t size the continuous rating of generator for the inrush draw. The generator and the breaker allow for some start-up current. That is why National Electric Code, table 430.52 has the required fuse or breaker sizes as shown. Motor inrush is typically six times full load amps. But you don’t need a generator six times as big as your motor.
I ran for 5 days without power that way. We didn’t use the Main A/C, stove or oven. But we washed clothes and used other small appliances without overloading the 25 amp breakers on the generator.
