CABLE SIZE:
Equipment damage can result from low voltage. Therefore, to prevent
excessive voltage drop between the generator and the equipment,
the cable should be of adequate gauge for the length used. The cable
selection chart gives the maximum cable lengths for various gauges of
wire which can adequately carry the loads shown.

ELECTRIC MOTOR LOADS:
It is characteristic of common electric motors in normal operation to draw
up to six times their running current while starting. This table may be
used to estimate the watts required to start "CODE G" electric motors.
