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

At 240 volts a 9000 watt generator can produce Amps = Watts / Volts = 37.5 amps.

Actually 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.

How many amps will a 4300 watt generator produce?

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.


How many amps for 1010 KVA generator per phase?

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


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 are in 40 volt amps?

Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.


A 120 V power supply connected to a 30 ohm resistor will produce how many amps of current?

A 120V power supply connected to a 30 Ohm resistor will produce 120/30 or 4 amps of current.
