Separate selected running demand from one governing motor-start event, compare exact generator ratings and test three transparent load-management scenarios.
Can this generator carry the selected loads and the governing start event?
Add only loads intended to run together. Then add the governing load's additional starting demand, apply the entered reserve and compare the generator's exact continuous and starting ratings independently.
Method
Running demand is the selected load total. Additional starting demand is starting watts minus that load's running watts; the start event is selected running demand plus that one increment. Each required rating receives the same visible reserve.
Important limitation
This cannot infer nameplate values, simultaneous motor starts, fuel-specific output, altitude/temperature derating, harmonics, inlet/transfer limits, grounding, carbon-monoxide safety or electrical approval. Exact manuals and a qualified installation review control.
