Re: Generator Recommendation

Thanks for the info. I have a kill-a-watt so I'll measure the load and plan accordingly. Question: Will a UPS run happily on a Generator?

APC suggest the generator be sized 3-5x the size of the total attached load.

It is necessary to read this carefully and understand what it is saying.

It is saying that some devices and generators can be mis-matched and result in unsatisfactory operation.

The two need to be matched correctly. A true on-line UPS will usually work better than a transfer-type but regardless, the devices must be matched and tested if used in a crucial application.
