APPLIANCE LOADS
Generator sets in recreational vehicles are often used to supply AC voltage for appliances. With
the exception of a resistance-type load such as a water heater, requirements for appliances are usually
low. However, such loads must not be overlooked when calculating the total wattage requirements. To
avoid an overload situation, reserve capacity should also be calculated for unanticipated appliance loads.
The average power requirements for some common electrical appliances are listed below as a guide.

EXTENSION CORDS
An extension cord is normally used to provide electrical power from the generator set to a remote
location. The extension cord size (AWG#) and length must be adequate to safely maintain the amperage
requirements. A proper size extension cord will help minimize the voltage drop between the generator
set and remote location.
