Generator LOad advice

[piroska]

The VA is used instead of kW as mentioned above, a thing called power factor. A basic rule of thumb to be safe is 3/4 of the VA would be the kW rating. So in your case, the maximum load should be a total of 825W (0.825kW). So it would handle both domestic fridge and Freezer OK. High draw items such as jugs,heaters,hotwater, heatpumps and dryers are out. Add the Watts together and as long as they are under your  825Watts, you should be good to go.
The in-rush of current would not be a problem on domestic appliances. If you are worried about that, just plug fridge first, 10mins later plug in the freezer.
Hope that explanation is helpful and us efull.

Yes thanks.

I realise about toasters and kettles. Not what I wanted it for anyway.
Mainly I wanted to prevent the freezer defrosting like it did, losing me our meat. And yes we claimed but there is still the excess.

Fridge (newer) is secondary.  Nice but if not, well, we have milk powder etc.

And yes R2x1 I know, cheap junk vs quality. Hopefully I was somewhere in the middle, I read user reviews of it first. Alas budget does matter here. Wasn't even me that paid for it, mum did.
