How do I determine what size Generator I need?
Sizing a Generator – How to Determine What Size You Need
Getting a generator that can handle all your power generation needs is one of the most critical aspects of the purchasing decision. Whether you are interested in prime or standby power, if your new generator can’t meet your specific requirements then it simply won’t be doing anyone any good because it can put undue stress on the unit and even damage some of the devices connected to it. Unfortunately, determining exactly what size of generator to get is often very difficult and involves a number of factors and considerations. Our technicians can help you finding the right generator to meet your requirements.
Making a choice amongst single phase, three phase, kW, KVA, welder, standby or motor starting generators can be mind-boggling. To prevent such confusion, Our generator service and repair technicians are here to help you get a better idea of how the sizing process works and some key things to keep in mind. We provide you with enough information to get a solid understanding of some of the key things that are involved.
Generator Size Variations: With the latest advancements in the field of electrical engineering, generators are now available in a wide range of sizes. Generators with power supply capacities of 5kW to 50kW are readily available in the personal and home use markets, while industrial generators are anywhere from 50kW to over 3 Megawatts. Handy and portable generators are available for homes and small offices, but larger businesses, data centers, buildings, plants, and industrial applications need to use the much larger sized industrial generators to meet their higher power requirements.
Generator Sizing – How Much Power? Many people believe smaller generators can be used for standby electric power because they are not running all the time. This is not only a myth but can actually be very dangerous. Unfortunately, generator under sizing is one of the most common mistakes committed by buyers. Not only does it involve the risks of damaging your new asset (the generator), but it can also damage other devices connected to it, create hazardous situations, and even limit overall productivity of the unit or the business relying on it. If nothing else, the key thing to remember here is that more is always better than less.
