Small generators are sized in watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. To properly answer this question a voltage for your 10 amps must be stated. That said small generator outputs are usually 120/240 volts in North America. So 10 amps at 120 volts equal 1200 watts. 10 amps at 240 volts equal 2400 watts. A 3000 watt generator will be amply for your 10 amp load.
To produce 10 amps, you would need a generator with a capacity of at least 1200 watts since amps multiplied by volts equals watts (10 amps x 120 volts = 1200 watts). It's always a good idea to have some extra capacity to accommodate any fluctuations in power demand.

How large a 110 volt generator is needed for a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger?
To calculate the power needed for the battery charger, you multiply the voltage (110V) by the amperage (40A) which equals 4400 watts. Therefore, a 110V generator with a capacity of at least 4400 watts or higher would be needed to power a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger.
If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?
To power a whole house with a 200 amp line, you would need a generator with a capacity of at least 15-20 kilowatts. This size generator can handle the typical power needs of a house that is connected to a 200 amp line during an outage. Be sure to consult with an electrician to ensure the generator meets your specific needs.
Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?
If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.
How many amps does a 18000 watt generator supply at 240 volts?
A 18000 watt generator supplying power at 240 volts would supply 75 amps (18000 watts ÷ 240 volts = 75 amps).
How much amps can a 500 kilowatt generator put out?
it depends on the voltage source being offered by the generator. watts / volts = amps If the generator is providing 120V, it is capable of pushing 125 Amps. If the generator is providing 240V, it is capable of pushing 62.5 Amps.
Does 1000 amps generator can run chest freezers?
Just wondering what you mean... Perhaps you meant a 1,000 WATT generator, in which case the answer would probably be "No". That's not enough capacity to run most freezers at start-up. If you actually did mean a 1,000 AMP generator, you would need to specify the voltage and amps or the watts of the generator and current draw of the freezer in question before anyone could answer your question. Since most home chest-type freezers operate on 115 VAC, that would mean that if your 1,000 AMP generator produced 115 volts, it would need to have a capacity of 11,500 watts. That's a pretty big home generator. You'll need to research the start-up requirements of your freezer and both the peak and continuous load capacity of the generator.

A 18000 watt generator supplying power at 240 volts would supply 75 amps (18000 watts ÷ 240 volts = 75 amps).
I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?
Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...
How many output amps is a 75 KVA generator?
It depends upon the Generator system voltage. For 3 Phase, 600 Volt system, it will be 73 Amps For 3 Phase, 480 Volt system, it will be 90 Amps For 3 Phase, 208 Volt system, it will be 208 Amps
How much amps can a 500 kilowatt generator put out?
it depends on the voltage source being offered by the generator. watts / volts = amps If the generator is providing 120V, it is capable of pushing 125 Amps. If the generator is providing 240V, it is capable of pushing 62.5 Amps.
If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?
The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
What size generator 1200 amps?
First you need to specify what voltage you require the generator to supply...Lets Assume its 240 Volts AC. Watts=Volts x Amps so 240x1200= 28.8 Kw. Then you have to take the efficiency of the generator into account. Mechanical power in is usually quite a bit more than the electrical power you get out...The difference is mostly the mechanical and thermal losses added together. If we say the generator is 70% efficient then you will need a generator 30% more powerful to supply a constant 1200 Amps...Thats a generator of about 38-40 Kw.
How many amps does a 8000 watt generator supply?
In order to determine the amperage supplied by an 8000 watt generator, you need to know the voltage of the generator. You can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage. For example, if the generator operates at 120 volts, the amperage would be 8000 watts / 120 volts = 66.67 amps.
How many amps in a 1500 mccullough generator?
To determine the amperage of a generator, you will need to know the output voltage as well. Once you have that information, you can use the formula: Amperage = Watts / Voltage. For example, if the 1500 watt McCullough generator outputs 120 volts, then the amperage would be 12.5 amps (1500 watts / 120 volts).
