I figured Craig's number was an oversimplification so I figured I'd try an estimate. We use ~300KW/month during the height of summer. Lets use 30 days for a month, thats ~10KW a day. Based on that I'd say a 10Kw generator would be plenty for us. Well really I could even say we could use far less because we surely don't create all 10KW at one time but giving extra capacity means we wouldn't overload with high demand.
Of course I realize that we probably use alot less electricity than some folks. Check your electric bill for how much you use... Oh, and I bet for most folks Craig is right, as I say I'd bet we use alot less power than the average consumer. -Curt Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 13:46:08 -0600 From: Craig McCluskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: 5600 Watt Diesel Generator in Northern Catalog To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 14 Sep 2007 14:35:13 -0500 "Kaleb C.
