Running vs. Starting Watts — Know the Difference
Running watts = power to keep equipment operating. Starting watts = brief surge to start motors/compressors. Running watts (blue bar) Starting watts (red marker) Generator running capacity (dotted line) GP5500DF: 5500W max / 5000W running Fridge-Freezer0 5500W Run ≈ 150–250W | Start ≈ 800–1200W Microwave
0 5500W Run ≈ 900–1200W | Start ≈ Same Table Saw (10")
0 5500W Run ≈ 1500–1800W | Start ≈ 2500–3000W Air Compressor (2 HP)
0 5500W Run ≈ 1400–1600W | Start ≈ 3500–4500W Pressure Washer (2 kW, induction)
0 5500W Run ≈ 1800–2000W | Start ≈ 3000–3500W
Typical values — always check your device label. Add up running watts for items used together, and keep the single largest start surge within your headroom (≈5.0 kW on this model).
What Size Generator Do I Need?
| Item | Typical Running | Typical Starting | GP5500DF? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laptop + Phone Charging | 100–200W | ≈ Same | Easy (many) |
| LED TV + Router + Lights | 150–300W | ≈ Same | Easy (many) |
| Fridge-Freezer | 120–200W | 800–1200W | Yes (multiple) |
| String / Hedge Trimmer | 300–450W | 700–1200W | Yes (multiple) |
| Drill / Hand Sander | 500–600W | 800–1200W | Yes (multiple) |
| Paint Sprayer | 500–600W | ≈ 600W | Yes |
| Work Light (LED/Halogen) | 300–1000W | ≈ Same | Multiple OK |
| Microwave | 800–1200W | ≈ Same | Yes (with other light loads) |
| Pressure Washer (electric) | 1800–2000W | 3000–3500W | Yes |
| Table Saw (10") | 1500–1800W | 2500–3000W | Yes |
| Space Heater / Kettle | 1500–3000W | ≈ Same | Yes (watch totals) |
| Air Compressor (2 HP) | 1400–1600W | 3500–4500W | Usually OK |
| Electric Oven (single) | 3000–3600W | ≈ Same | Yes (solo or light extras) |
Guide only — add up running watts for items used together, then ensure the single highest starting surge stays within generator limits.
Why Dual-Fuel Matters
- Fuel flexibility — choose petrol for convenience or propane for long-term storage.
- Lower emissions on propane — cleaner burn, less carbon build-up.
- Extended runtime — switch fuels mid-use to keep working.
- Cost control — pick the most economical fuel for the job.
Tips for Choosing the Right Generator
- Total your running watts for everything you’ll use together.
- Identify the largest starting surge (motors/compressors) and leave headroom.
- Use correct sockets — 110V (yellow) for UK sites; 230V/32A for boards/large loads.
- Plan runtime — tank size + LPG bottle = hours between stops.
