How do generator surge loads affect performance and how should I plan for them?

Many appliances draw a higher current when starting (surge). These surges can stress your generator if you size it exactly to steady loads. To protect against this, choose a generator with extra headroom (about 20-50% more capacity) so it handles starting surges without tripping breakers or damaging equipment.
