To completely power everything you would need a 12KW generator. However in an emergency you can live with a 5.5KW generator. You will not however be able to run an electric oven at all. To run an electric water heater almost everything else will have to be shut off. You will have to ration the power.
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.
Using 110 volt service, 5,000/110= 45 amps
For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.
It depends on the size and energy needs of your house. A 2.8kW generator may be able to power essential items like lights, refrigerator, and a few small appliances during a power outage, but may not be sufficient for larger homes with higher energy demands. It's best to consult an electrician to determine the appropriate size for your specific needs.
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.
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amperage = Power (W) / Voltage (V). In this case, it would be 600 W / 12 V = 50 A. Therefore, a 12V 600W generator will produce 50 amperes.
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.

Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...

Depends, there are fuses ranging from 5 amps up to 50 amps in use on the Neon.
