I'm testing out a new generator and need to know Rated (Running) Watts for 
different appliance loads. I have a refrigerator and freezer with metal 
placards that don't provide Watt information and I don't have the manuals. 
Both say 115 Volts and 60 Hz. Can Running Watts be determined with this 
information? If so, how? If not, how do I determine Wattage? Anyone's help 
would be appreciated. 
Freezer: AMPS 4.3; H.P. 1/4; 115V; 60 HERTZ
UL LISTED HOUSEHOLD FREEZER 126A
GE HOTPOINT Refrigerator: AMPS 7.5; 110V. AC 50 HZ
115V. AC 60 HZ   11-642998 POB
UL LISTED HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATOR 183A
Thank you, Andy W. awigner@aol.com
