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

โ 10y agoActually it is considered a 120 volt generator. 1,000 watts divided by 120 volts equals 8.3 amps. 80% of 8.3 amps is 6.64 amps would be the safest full load.
36.6 amps maximum at 120 volts, but should not be loaded to over 29 amps. At 240 volts it will produce a maximum of 18.3 amps but never loaded to any more than 14.6 amps.
To answer this question the voltage of the generator must be given.
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.
A 120V power supply connected to a 30 Ohm resistor will produce 120/30 or 4 amps of current.
Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.
The relationship between amps (electrical current, or I), volts (electrical potential, or V) and watts(electrical power, or P) is represented by the equation P=VI. So at 110 volts, a 9000 watt generator can provide a maximum of about 82 amps.
Typically 75 amps on natural gas, 85 amps using propane. Peak amps(for less than a second) to start a big appliance, like an A/C condenser, are 130.
To calculate the amps for a given amount of watts, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. If we assume a typical household voltage of 120V, then the calculation would be 9000 watts / 120V = 75 amps.
A 5500 watt generator uses approximately 45.8 amps when running at full capacity (Watts = Amps x Volts, so 5500W = 45.8A x 120V). Keep in mind that the actual amperage may vary slightly depending on the voltage of the system.
5.5kva
9000 BTU/hour is equivalent to 2300 watts so the heater will draw 10 amps on 230 volts.
36.6 amps maximum at 120 volts, but should not be loaded to over 29 amps. At 240 volts it will produce a maximum of 18.3 amps but never loaded to any more than 14.6 amps.
62.5 amps
In order to determine the amperage supplied by an 8000 watt generator, you need to know the voltage of the generator. You can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage. For example, if the generator operates at 120 volts, the amperage would be 8000 watts / 120 volts = 66.67 amps.
To determine the amperage output of a generator, you need to know the voltage of the system it will be operating. If we assume a standard 240V system, a 5.5kVA generator would be good for approximately 22.9 amps (5500 watts รท 240V). However, please consult the generator's specifications and an electrician to ensure it meets the specific requirements of your electrical system.
A 18000 watt generator supplying power at 240 volts would supply 75 amps (18000 watts รท 240 volts = 75 amps).
A 9000 BTU 240 volt air conditioner typically draws around 5-6 amps. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amperage rating.
