Power stations and generators, checked against the spec sheet

Will your power station or generator run it?

Willrun says runs, surge risk, or won't run by comparing a power station's or generator's published output with an appliance's published draw.

Runtime is nameplate watt-hours times 0.85, divided by average draw. Cycling fridges use a duty cycle only when the maker published both watts and annual energy. Nothing here is invented to fill a blank.
