Trane XE 80 wattage calculations
This is the purpose of calculating wattage requirements - I am thinking about buying a portable generator
What are the wattage requirements for the A/C unit?
What are the wattage requirements for the furnace?
In the alternative, what is the horsepower of the furnace motor?
Thank you

Do you have a model number (most useful) or tonnage for the Trane XE 80?
You can call me Sam

Sam - the model # isTTR024C100A1
I am considering either a 7000 or 8000 watt Briggs&Stratton Generator - 30 amp output to the transfer switch (Reliance 31410CRK)
Also have a fridge and an upright freezer

The 8 K will handle the furnace, fridge and freezer along with a few lighting circuits.

Your TTR024C100A1 is your outdoor Condenser... Its electrical data is... Originally Posted by blackacre

The furnace, I assumed worst case was 11 amps fully loaded, so 115 volt * 11 = 1265 Watts...
7015 watts for both your furnace and a/c.You can call me Sam

Thanks Sam... Exactly what I needed to know. No a/c with the 7k or 8k generators. Will plan on fans 😄

A 7.5 kw generator and transfer switch would work for the essentials in your home. Originally Posted by blackacre

Nothing in the paperwork and nothing on the outside of the furnace - sounds dumb, but where do I look?
