How many watts does a Gas Furnace Blower Fan use?

A Gas Furnace Blower Fan draws 800 watts continuously once it's running, but its motor needs a brief surge of up to 2,350 watts to start. A generator has to cover that starting surge, not just the running load, or the motor won't start. Runs the blower only — the furnace itself is fueled by gas/oil, not the generator.
