- Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners place a high demand upon the power source when cycling on. The running amperage is listed on the rating plate of the appliance. However, the start-up amperage could be as high as 3x the normal running amps. If the voltage is not stable tripping could occur during attempted start ups.
- Any variation in cycles could cause electric clocks to go fast or slow. Generators should be voltage regulated and surge protected for the appliances.
- Some generators may not be recommended by the generator manufacturer for use with major appliances.
- Frigidaire does not recommend specific generators, only approximate sizes.
It is suggested that anyone interested in generator compatibility with a major appliance check the specifications with the generator manufacturers. Below is the approximate size generator needed for each appliance category:
APPLIANCE TYPEGENERATOR SIZE
Refrigerators 3000 - 4500 WATTS
