Sizing Information

Generator Sizing Information

Generator quotation depends on power demand, duty, electrical requirements, load characteristics and site conditions.

Generator sizing should consider not only total connected load, but also starting loads, operating sequence and intended duty.

FAQ

Generator RFQ Questions

FAQ
What information is needed to size a diesel generator set?

Required kW or kVA, duty, voltage, phase, frequency, load type, simultaneous loads, starting loads, site environment and destination country are useful starting points.

Should I choose prime or standby duty?

Prime duty is generally considered for regular power supply needs, while standby duty is considered for backup power during grid interruption.

When should I request a silent generator set?

A silent generator set may be reviewed when enclosure, outdoor installation or noise considerations are important for the site.

Can I submit only a project specification or load list?

Yes. Buyers can upload a project specification, load list or equipment requirement document for quotation review.
