Generator Category and Capacity
Our generators have 1001 uses, including heating, cooling, illuminating, rotating, pumping, computing etc.
Estimated Fuel Consumption:
3000RPM Petrol and Diesel Units
These machines run on an estimated consumption of 500ml of fuel per 1 KVA per running hour.
1500RPM Diesel Units ron on an estimated 1 liter diesel per every 5KVA per hour running
NB 1: Amps x Volts = Watts.
To estimate the generator capacity needed, apply the following formulae:
In a 1 phase installation:
1 kw = 1.25 kva; 1 kva = 4 amps (10 kw = 12.5 kva = 50 amps)
Kva x 4 = maximum amps @ 230 v in a single phase installation
In a 3 phase installation:
1 kw = 1.25 kva (10 kw = 12.5 kva = 18-20 amps)
Kva x 1.5 = maximum amps @ 400 v in a 3 phase installation
NB 2: Most permanent generator installations for domestic use are between 2.5 kw – 20 kw on a single phase (230 volts AC 50hz)
Table to calculate estimated power required (1 kw = 1000 watt):
KW = kilowatt
KVA = kilo volts per ampere
V = volt
I = amperes
PF = power factor (0.8 or 1)
