Just wondering what you mean...

Perhaps you meant a 1,000 WATT generator, in which case the answer would probably be "No". That's not enough capacity to run most freezers at start-up.

If you actually did mean a 1,000 AMP generator, you would need to specify the voltage and amps or the watts of the generator and current draw of the freezer in question before anyone could answer your question.

Since most home chest-type freezers operate on 115 VAC, that would mean that if your 1,000 AMP generator produced 115 volts, it would need to have a capacity of 11,500 watts. That's a pretty big home generator.

You'll need to research the start-up requirements of your freezer and both the peak and continuous load capacity of the generator.

How many amps can a 9000 watt generator produce?

If your generator is rated at 1000 watts continuous......and you are using 120V.....available amps are 1000/120 =8.3 .


If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?

The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


Will a 1000 watt generator operate a sump pump?

That depends on the power requirement of the sump pump. A 1000 watt generator (if this is running watts) will produce 1000 watts continuous. Through some simple math, this is equivalent to 8.33 amps at 120 volts. Current (in Amps)=Power (in Watts)divided by Voltage (in Volts). On your sump pump, there is something called a nameplate which lists model number, serial number, manufacturer, and power requirements. The power can either be listed in watts directly, or in amps (at 120v). If it lists watts directly, this number is either higher or lower than your 1000w generator. If it lists amps, your generator will supply 8.33 amps continuous, as figured above. Likewise, you can find out if your generator can power any given load by using this method. Just divide the listed wattage by 120 to get amps. Also, motors do pull higher current when they start, so it is usually recommended to size the generator larger than you would otherwise when you are running a motor, such as your pump. If the sump pump is right up there at 8 amps, it would be pushing the limit to expect it to run the pump. Some smaller generators too are so-called "inverter" units, and many of these are not recommended for motor starting duty. Check the generator's manual to be sure.


How many amps for 1010 KVA generator per phase?

To answer this question the voltage of the generator must be given.


What size generator 1200 amps?

First you need to specify what voltage you require the generator to supply...Lets Assume its 240 Volts AC. Watts=Volts x Amps so 240x1200= 28.8 Kw. Then you have to take the efficiency of the generator into account. Mechanical power in is usually quite a bit more than the electrical power you get out...The difference is mostly the mechanical and thermal losses added together. If we say the generator is 70% efficient then you will need a generator 30% more powerful to supply a constant 1200 Amps...Thats a generator of about 38-40 Kw.

1000 watt generator power can it power a compact fridge?

yes, it has an output of 20 amps @ 120v so it will power any standard refrigerator. I believe a 900 Watt Generator will only handle 7.5 amps at 120 Volts.

How many output amps is a 600kva generator at 240v?

To calculate the output amps of a 600kVA generator at 240V, you would use the formula Amps = kVA / Volts. In this case, it would be 600kVA / 240V = 2500 amps.


How many amps does a 18000 watt generator supply at 240 volts?

A 18000 watt generator supplying power at 240 volts would supply 75 amps (18000 watts รท 240 volts = 75 amps).

Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?

If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.
