Match My Generator’s household load calculator
A planning tool for estimating household appliance loads and comparing them with real generator models and fuel-specific ratings.
- 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.
