What size power station for one burner of an electric range?

It needs a station with at least 2,000 W of continuous output, and a 240 V outlet. At the default 85% efficiency it takes about 1,176 Wh of rated capacity for its typical 30 min a day, and 2,353 Wh for 1 hour of use. 19 of the 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it. The smallest one that keeps it going for 1 hour of use is the BLUETTI Apex 300 (2,765 Wh).

The math

Worked with the typical figure, as the calculator does it.

Output2,000 W running, so the station's continuous output must be at least 2,000 W.
SurgeNo start surge: the running figure covers it.
Average draw2,000 W: the running watts count for every hour it is on.
A typical day2,000 W × 30 min = 1,000 Wh a day.
Typical 30 min a day2,000 W × 30 min = 1,000 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 1,176 Wh of rated capacity.
1 hour of use2,000 W × 1 h = 2,000 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 2,353 Wh of rated capacity.
On the BLUETTI Apex 3002,765 Wh × 0.85 = 2,350 Wh usable, ÷ 2,000 W = 1.2 h of use.

What moves the number

One burner of a 240 V range. Small 6 inch elements draw 1,200 W to about 1,500 W and large 8 or 9 inch elements 2,000 W and up, to 3,100 W. Because the range needs 240 V, only a station that supplies 240 V passes the voltage check.

A portable induction cooktop runs on a 120 V outlet instead.

Questions

How many watts does one burner of an electric range use?

About 2,000 W while running, from 1,200 W to 3,100 W across the models in our sources. Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Can a portable power station run one burner of an electric range?

Yes. 19 of the 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it on its own. It takes at least 2,000 W of continuous output, plus a 240 V outlet.

How long will a power station run one burner of an electric range?

It depends on the battery. At 85% efficiency the smallest station that powers it, the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 (1,505 Wh), gives about 38 min of use. The largest, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X (12,288 Wh), gives about 5.2 h of use.

Does one burner of an electric range need 240 V?

Yes. A station passes the voltage check only when it supplies 240 V on its own: 8 of the 54 in the data do. 2 more reach 240 V with a second unit linked, and each station page says which.
