A planning tool for estimating household appliance loads and comparing them with real generator models and fuel-specific ratings.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.
For
Households planning portable or standby generator loads
Worth noticing
Its connection check uses a user-verified watt limit and explicitly does not calculate current, power factor, per-leg loading, or electrical-code requirements.

Field notes

The calculator separates running demand from starting demand and treats the latter as an illustrative check: it assumes selected appliances are running while one selected motor starts or restarts. Catalog continuous ratings are tied to the chosen fuel, while peak figures appear only when recorded and verified. A user may add a connection watt limit, but the page says that this does not replace electrical calculations or compatibility checks.
