I have a 4.5 ton electric logsplitter, 120 volts, 1500 watts. I've been running it at home on a 120v / 15 amp circuit ... no problem ... the lights don't even flicker on starting surge. I plan on going to my cabin and would like to run it off a generator. The big question is ... will it operate off of a Coleman 1850 ... which is rated at 1850 watts surge, 120 volts ... 12 amps / 1500 watts continuous. If not, how big of a generator is needed.?
