Generator sets

[edmasbate]

need ko 5000 watts capacity

[boybi]

What genset capacity should I get to power the following:

2 2.5hp split type A/C
1 1.5hp split type A/C
2 1.5hp window type A/C
1 1.0hp split type A/C
3 TV sets
3 refs
2 units hot/cold water dispenser
1 3200W water heater
at least 40pcs 18W CFLs

mga 60KVA

meron kami 60KVA

Denyo brand, Japan surplus

[ghost recon]

masyado malaki yong 60kva for that particular load.

base on my computation (maximizing those without no given wattage), its only 30kva.

hope this help.

even if the load is 30KVA, you don't buy a 30KVA generator

you buy least 40KVA

but i think 40KVA is still too small for that load

better to have headroom than overload a smaller generator

it's very expensive to repair a generator that burned out due to overload

[boybi]

How much would a 40KVA and a 60KVA genset cost? Meron ba yung hindi maingay? I'm going to place the genset beside the quarters of our workers para may bantay.

how can an overload happens when the total connected load is given and i based my computaion on that? plus there is what we call usage factor. what i'm giving is 95 percent efficiency usage. that means you are not throwing money for unused energy produced by your generator. am i right or wrong?

[ghost recon]

if you throw in 40kva, the efficiency will become 70 percent. throw in 60 and the efficiency will become 50 percent. can you see now the wasted money?

[bmacavanza]

50% load of the rated capacity of the genset.
