Steve,
I am in total agreement that I cannot calculate at nameplate. My clothes dryer on high with a full load of clothes pulls 22.5 amps.
I am glad this subject came up as I purchased a 8kw generator last fall. (Have not used it yet)
I have been testing the loads around here and have found that they all draw less current than nameplate.
I just had a hard time believing all the loads you mentioned would work at 3500 watt.
I must appologize for questioning your statement. I should have realized that what you have in your house would be the same as mine.
I now feel much better about my purchase......Sincerely John
