Calculate generator size based on load requirements and efficiency
Generator sizing is crucial for ensuring that your generator can handle the electrical load it is intended to support. Proper sizing prevents overload, reduces fuel consumption, and prolongs the lifespan of the generator.
The size of a generator is typically measured in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW), and it depends on several factors including the type of load (residential, commercial, or industrial), the power factor, and the efficiency of the generator.
This calculator helps you determine the appropriate size of a generator based on your specific load requirements and the efficiency of the generator.
| Load Type | Power Requirement (kW) | Generator Efficiency (%) | Recommended Generator Size (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 5 | 90 | 5.56 |
| Commercial | 50 | 95 | 52.63 |
