Calculadora de Dimensionamento de Gerador — Formula
## Generator Sizing
**Minimum kW = Running Watts + Starting Surge**
Motors (AC units, pumps, refrigerators) draw 2 to 6 times their running watts during startup. Add the surplus starting watts of the largest motor to the total running watts of everything else.
**Minimum kW = Running Watts + Starting Surge**

Exemplo Resolvido
5,000W running load, largest motor is 2,000W with 3x starting surge.
- Running = 5,000W
- Surge = 2,000 x 3 - 2,000 = 4,000W extra
- Total = 5,000 + 4,000 = 9,000W = 9.0 kW
- Select a 10 kW generator.
