Refrigerator KW consumption daily / weekly

[O C Diver]

I think you're missing some decimal points. Your microwave draws about 1 KW and the electric stove isn't pulling 20 KW.

Interesting. This weekend I was servicing the genny and started paying attention to the gauges. Genny cranked and running at idle. 0ish KW. Refrigerator running.
Added the battery charger. Maybe 1 KW. Add the AC (this shocked me no pun) the needle popped then settled at 4KW. Thought it would be more. Turned the thermostat way down, she's blowing cold. No waver. So add the microwave. NOW we bust 11KW. Next hit the biggie -- electric stove eye -- hit 20 KW instantly. So what I learned is that my little 3.5 Nextgen can easily handle my average loads. That's good news!

Hum, something's not right in these numbers. Oven is maybe 3.5kw. Microwave maybe 1.5kw And how is a 3.5kw generator powering 11kw, let alone 20kw?
