Circuit Breaker Load Calculator (Amps)
Use this calculator to see how heavily a breaker is loaded when you run generator-powered circuits.
It uses the basic relationship P = V × I and the common rule of thumb that continuous loads stay at or below about 80% of breaker rating.
Breaker load estimate
Check breaker watt capacity, load percentage, and how that compares to the 80% guideline.
For more planning tools, you can also use the other calculators and guides on the GeneratorCalc home page.
