12000 Watt

A 12000 Watt Generator runs large appliances like refrigerators and essentials, including sump pumps, well pumps, home office, and kitchen appliances. On the job, 12000 Watt Generators run multiple tools.

12000 Watt Generator

A 12000 Watt Generator has enough power to run essentials circuits during a power outage. Keep refrigerators and freezers cold, run a well pump, power the home office, with power left over for lights, small kitchen appliances, and other essentials. When connected through a manual transfer switch, it can supply power for furnaces, heat pumps, and up to a 2 or 3-ton air conditioner.

The Generator 12000 Watt capacity rating means the rated running load is 12000 watts. The surge capacity, or starting watts, is additional power the generator can supply for a few seconds to start a motor. Always read the specifications for the running watts and starting watts. Never rely on the generator name for power capacity.

12000 Watt Portable Generator

Your 12000 Watt Portable Generator stores in a garage or shed until needed. Most come with wheels for easy placement. Always locate the generator at least 10 to 20 feet from the house. On job sites, a location where it is not in the way is best.

Choose a 12 000 Watt Generator model with the primary use in mind. For home backup, a 30-Amp or 50-Amp 120/240-Volt outlet provides a safe and reliable connection to a transfer switch inlet box with a generator cord. During an outage, there’s only one cord to connect. No trip hazards or extension cords laying on wet ground. Essential appliances and lighting circuits have the power they need and you can run your furnace in cold weather.

12000 Watt Generators

12000 Watt Generators have a rated current capacity of 50 amps at 240 volts or 100 amps at 120 volts. On job sites, that’s enough power for a table saw and compressor, plus multiple corded tools like circular saws, drills, and electric demolition hammers. With a surge watt rating of up to 25 percent over the running watts, the generator won’t have any trouble with motors that start and stop.

Look for a model with idle control to save fuel and reduce noise when no one is using power.

At home, the 50-amp 240-volt capacity can start small to medium central air conditioners while it keeps a refrigerator and freezer cold and few circuits.

It is important to remember that no machine works best at maximum capacity. Size your generator to run at about 75 percent rated capacity most of the time. For a 12000 watt generator, that is about 9000 watts. It’s okay to go higher at times, such as when the air conditioner is running.
