How Much Load Can A Generator Of This Size Handle In An Emergency Situation? 12,500 Peak Watts
2 years ago

We tested this generator under heavy load, then three days later we needed the generator in an emergency situation. Listen to understand how much load it handled and hear our experience how/why the generator over-loaded. We hope this can help you find a generator that will serve your needs in an emergency situation.
It will handle an electric water heater (4,500 Watts, 14.75 Amps @ 240 volt), a common size for most households and a well pump (less than 5,000 Watts, 20.8 Amps @ 240 Volts) for hot showers.
During the winter we heat with firewood. We doubt it will operate a 3 ton heat pump during the winter utilizing electric emergency heat.
