Summary:A method and apparatus are disclosed for using a generator having insufficient power to supply power to a number of electrosurgical probes during ramping up of the probes to reach set point temperatures. The method includes reducing energy delivery to at least one probe by temporarily disabling energy delivery thereto. Some embodiments comprise a method of delivering energy to at least two electrosurgical probes connected to at least two of the channels of a generator wherein the generator has a maximum output, the method comprising: (a) activating channels which are to be activated; (b) checking for disabling conditions; and (c) if there are disabling conditions, disabling the channel which takes the least power amongst all active channels.
