How many amps does a 5000 watt generator supply?

A 5000 watt generator can supply up to 41.7 amps at 120 volts or 20.8 amps at 240 volts. To calculate the amperage, you can use the following formula:

Amps (I) = Watts (P) / Volts (V)

In this case, if the generator is operating at 120 volts, the amperage would be:

I = 5000 watts / 120 volts

= 41.67 amps

If the generator is operating at 240 volts, the amperage would be:

I = 5000 watts / 240 volts

= 20.83 amps
