Price to run my generator?
I am doing a project for school. And I need to figure out the gas consumption and how much it will cost to run a generator for 24 hours. The house specs and generator specs are stated below. Formulas would be great.
Generator specs.
-5000 watts full load 6500 watt surge
-120 volt, 20 amp duplex split receptacle
-120/240 volt 30 amp Twist Lock receptacle
-5 gallon U.S. capacity fuel tank (gasoline)
-One tank of gas will last 10 Hrs.@ 50% load
-Price of gas 70 cents/liter
House Specs.VoltsWattsAMPSRun Time Per Day
Electric water heater2401200510 hours
Gas stove12032026.63 hours
1 fridge in the house (food)1204003.324 hours
1fridge in the garage (beer)1203502.924 hours
Freezer (small Capacity)1203002.524 hours
High efficiency gas furnace with A.C1156005.224 hours
Submersible sump pump (mid range load)115130011.310 hours

8 High efficiency Lights 4 in the kitchen, 2 in the living room, 2 in the hall way120150.1255 hours
Total119045953.8126
the key is 10 hours at 1/2 load - then it's a guess...Gallons held x price per gal = +/- 10 hour of run time - only you know what you need /want to run...if it's frig's & a/c's the run time will shorten
