Generator LOad advice
#1
The new generator is 2.8HP, 1.1kva so it says.
Now I have a fridge/freezer 152w defrost it says, and 0.63a.
Means nothing to me.

And an old Kelvinator freezer, ancient.

Google tells me I can't run either off it, too much load. But, would I damage it? Or would it just not work? Or pop the breaker or something? There was scary info about damaging motor and/or alternator etc on the net.
And a lady with a similar one said she killed hers by trying to run kettle/toaster.

Well I get that, they're too much watts...2000 for instance.

But the fridge or freezer? I understand they have more load on starting than running.

Someone else said they ran 2 old freezers off their same size as mine one without issue.

So I don't know what to think now.
Just don't want to blow it up on it's first use.
