I would like to know what the running wattage versus the surge wattage is. Thanks!

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

Surge wattage of this generator is actually the nameplate at 6,500W. Running wattage is a lessor rating at 5,500W.

I do not know. This product comes with different levels of insensitive So far I haven't been able to use it higher than Level 5, so I don't worry about wattage.

I have minimal wattage from my power source. the rating is for max need. mine runs my media center without lag i don't know about games but i am very happy with my graphics. i think you have more than enough wattage. and you can't beat the price

Jennifer, sorry, I didn't see your answer until this morning. The wattage listed on the bottom of the machine is 120V 60 HzMax 5 Amps. I am very happy with this mini-processor. The only negative I've found so far is trying to grate Mozzarella cheese. It is too soft for the machine so it just jams up. I would highly recommend it otherwise.

I had it over-loaded with christmas lights for a float. At least 900 watts, likely more and all of it continuous load, not surge. We pulled that float all around town and probably got 3.5 hours out of it (maybe more) before I had to refill. If you ran it with a 700 or 800 watt load and didn't get at least 4 or 5 hours, I'd be suprised. Having said that, we did this 9 and a half months ago so the details may be a little fuzzy... But I honestly was very suprised how well this little genny ran. I actually expected it to fail due to how long we were running it with that heavy of a load. I wouldn't try that heavy a load for that long if I was using this as a home power source. Remember you are getting this guy for under a hundo...

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

First, the answer is NOT 500ma (.5) as someone else replied. That is the no-load idle current, NOT the MAXIMUM current. While I don't see an official answer, based on the claimed 87% efficiency, the maximum load and surge, and a battery voltage estimate of 13 volts, a little rough math gives us a possible full load current of a bit over 132 amps, with a possible surge current reaching twice that number. Keep in mind these are just some quick back of the napkin figures, and are not a substitute for the manufacturer's published rating. BOTTOM LINE: Contact them before wiring it, I'm just somebody on the Internet making unreliable wild-eyed claims about electricity.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer for your answer. Personally, I would only plug those units into a 15-20 amp dedicated wall socket with GFCI protection. I use this surge unit for my computer, monitor, external hard drives, wireless router etc. with excellent results.

Sorry, I have no idea about the wattage. I can say my garage wiring has been known to trip a breaker under heavy load conditions, but I've never had trouble when running this charger, even under the highest "start" conditions in cold weather. I'm happy with it.

I have looked all over the box, but cannot find the wattage - I actually looked online also, and still could not find it - sorry.

It is 1200 joules. Load rating 15 Amps. Line Voltage 125 Volts/AC@ 60 Hz. Max surge voltage 60,000 Amps. You can go online for more info @ www.rcaacessories.com. Hope this helps you out

The higher the AMP's & WATT's, the more power the surge protector can handle. I am a paranormal investigator & only need 3 small power cords hooked up so I didn't need the higher Amperage & Wattage. If you are plugging in a TV, computer, printer or other similar electronics, you may want to go with the higher #'s. Hope this helps. I am not an electrician but this is my understanding. Also, the 3 plugs are very close together so you may be forced to either just use 2 plugs at a time or buy a second surge protector. I lucked out, my 3 plugs are very narrow.

I use it for a 7500 watt running and a 10500 watt surge generator and it works just fine. If you want to be especially safe check it after fifteen minutes of use, if the cord is hot discontinue. I'll bet it will be just fine.

I'm looking at the Installation Instructions for the unit and see no reference to "peak surge current rating." It does say that it is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes. ??

I do not see any indication of wattage in the Manual or online product description. Maybe try a call to the manufacturer.

I'm running this on a 300w and it's runniing fine. I have a 500w but it's too big to fit in my case lol, but it runs just fine with the 300w so I'm not concerned.
