How many items can you connect to a 4500 watt portable generator during an power outage?

The number of items you can connect to a 4.5 kW generator circuit depends on the items available and on the importance of each item. A refrigerator should be plugged in first, followed by lights. Maybe ten lights; since your generator will need ample reserve to keep from stalling when the refrigerator cycles over. A fan may be operated; but an air conditioner would likely be out of the question.
