Default 3.5kva petrol generator - what will it drive ???

John wrote:

Does it not have an information plate (or book) that states the wattage
output. It's a bit like "How long is a piece of string?" without that
information. You can get 3.5kva gennys that can run up to 3000 Watts, and
others that will struggle to power 1500 Watts. What make and model is it?


The number of watts it can drive is more a function of the equipment you
are powering than the genny... with incandescent lighting you cna
probably go close to 3kW, whereas with an induction motored power tool
you could be down to half that.
