yes it is just hook it up and go you will need to check your calcs as you will increase your amperage. while not often done I have done this before.
Generally speaking, you need to account for any variance in electrical output. There are a lot of factors that can cause a fluctuation in electrical amperage. You wouldn't want to set the fuse too low or it would blow needlessly, but you also don't want to set the fuse too high, or a dangerous short will not be interrupted. A power source/device can produce/draw more amperage while damaged than in normal operation. A 4.33 amp device might not run at 5 amp while working, but while damaged could exceed that dramatically. When looking at the reason for having a fuse, it provides two things: 1) help protect a working device from having too much amperage forced into it from a damaged power source 2) help protect the power source from having too much amperage draw from it by a damaged device.
Click the link. There you can figure the size generator you need.
The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.
This formula will give you the amperage I = kw x 1000/1.73 x E x pf (pf = power factor). Take the amperage and multiply it by 125%. This will give you the breaker size that you need.
To determine the amperage of a generator, you will need to know the output voltage as well. Once you have that information, you can use the formula: Amperage = Watts / Voltage. For example, if the 1500 watt McCullough generator outputs 120 volts, then the amperage would be 12.5 amps (1500 watts / 120 volts).
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.
I found a gentron generator that weighed only 53 pounds. The power output is significantly lower than generators weighing more. It comes down to a power to weight ratio, so you need to determine what your specific needs are.
Since watts are equal to volts times amps it is hard to say if a 2000 watt generator will be enough. If you know the amperage of the A/C then using the formula Amps = Watts/ Volts. 2000/110 = 18 amps. If the A/C draws more that 18 amps then a 2000 watt generator will not be large enough. To find the generator size you will need, just use the same formula and try different generator wattages until you find one that is about 5 amps higher than the A/C amps.
I had this problem with my car (the day after I bought it). There is a special fuse that they need to install in the fuse box that won't blow. The dealer should do it for you for free if you take it to them. In the meantime, you can change the fuse with the same amperage one that is there and they should work for a short time until they blow again. It gets to be a pain. If you change the fuse for a higher amperage fuse, the motor in the door lock will blow on one side.

Fuses are rated by amperage (current) and voltage. The larger the current need, the larger the rating of the fuse, to handle the current. The voltage rating of a fuse defines the maximum value of circuit voltage in which the fuse can be safely used. A fuse should not be used in a circuit with a voltage exceeding the voltage rating of the fuse.
All the wires coming out of the fuse box of your car are 12 volt. You need to put it on a fuse that has at least the minimum amperage that your TV calls for. I'm going to guess it will need at least 10 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.
For a 240V outlet, you should use a fuse that is rated for 240V. The fuse's amperage rating should match the amp rating of the circuit and be appropriate for the connected devices. It's important to use the correct type and rating of fuse to protect the circuit from overloading and electrical hazards.
Technically, you don't measure amperage ACROSS a fuse, you measure current THROUGH a fuse, and the units of measure are amperage. If you want to measure the current though a fuse on a single device, say a TV, or computer, you can use a multi-meter. You will need to 'redirect' all the current so it goes through the multi-meter. ie: ----|fuse|---|device|--- would be rewired to be: ----|fuse|-----|black probe|---|multi-meter|---|red probe|-----|device|------ If you want to measure the current through a larger fuse, like the main fuse in your house, you'll need a current clamp. This is a clamp that you can put on ONE of the incoming power wires. It measures the magnetic field generated by the current. This is the much easier way since you don't have to do any re-wiring to redirect the current, but costs more money. ----|fuse|---@@---|device|--- [the @@ is the current clamp, note that it doesn't matter where the current clamp is placed, so long as it's only around ONE wire] Whatever you do, be careful, electricity is dangerous.
bearings are going. Need to oil them. SOon you will blowing fuses because the excess drag in amperage will exceed the 8 amp fuse and blow it
