What kind of operation you run is irrelevant. When sizing a generator whether for a farm or a nudie bar youve just got to look at the equipment you plan to use and find out what it draws. I usually total up all the 110v stuff (lights,small appliances,etc.)and convert it to watts (volts x amps= watts)then the same thing with the 220, total your watts and that gives you the # you need to run everything at once...It might be the case that its not practical to buy a gen big enough to run everything at once so you might wanna just figure out what items you MUST run at the same time. When figuring things like air-cond, water pumps, or pumps of any kind make sure you check the Starting Amps when doing your load calc. as that # will be much higher than Running Amps. (theres no law that says you have to start these at the same time)..Also make sure your 110v load is balanced between your 2 hot legs. Do you have a good Idea what kind of equipment you'll be powering? and what it draws? Also try to keep in mind future needs and balance it all out with you wallet/wife (the only hard part of the whole thing)...Good Luck...Don
