Size from running watts plus one realistic start.
Two numbers matter: the power everything uses while running and the brief extra power a motor may need to start. Add them, then treat exhaust, fuel and placement as safety requirements.

The method, step by step
- 01Typical Indian loads
Fans, lights, a refrigerator, water pump, cooler, broadband or a point-of-sale terminal are common planning loads. Refrigerators and pumps need a separate start-up check against the generator’s starting capability.
- 02230V/50Hz is the baseline
India’s electrical baseline is 230V / 50Hz with INR pricing. Type D is the primary household plug baseline. Type C appears on some unearthed low-power equipment, but its physical fit can be partial or unsafe; Type M serves some higher-current connections. Check the exact socket, current rating, earthing and regional product version instead of assuming interchangeability.
What that means for this edition
A 120V model cannot be converted with a travel adapter, and backfeeding a wall socket is never acceptable.
