How many watts does a Angle Grinder use?
Running watts
1,000 W
Starting watts
1,500 W
Startup surge
+500 W
A Angle Grinder draws 1,000 watts continuously once it's running, but its motor needs a brief surge of up to 1,500 watts to start. A generator has to cover that starting surge, not just the running load, or the motor won't start.
