Why Generator Load Capacity Matters More Than You Think
When buying a generator, most people focus on brand and price. But the most important factor is generator load capacity.
If your generator is too small, it overloads. If it’s too large, you waste fuel and money.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔ Running watts = Continuous power supply ✔ Starting watts = Extra power to start motors ✔ Ideal operating range = 50%–80% load ✔ Always add a safety margin
Undersized generators cause voltage drops and system damage. Oversized systems increase operational costs.
Proper load calculation ensures:
Reliable power during outages
Longer generator lifespan
Improved efficiency
Protection for critical equipment
