How to Size a Diesel Generator for Your Dubai Site

Generators are rented in kVA. Your equipment is rated in kW. For almost every diesel set the power factor is 0.8, so usable power is kVA × 0.8.

A 30 kVA set gives about 24 kW. If you actually need 30 kW, you need closer to 40 kVA, not 30.

Also check starting current. AC compressors and motors can pull three to five times their running load at startup. Send Total Power your load list on WhatsApp and we will size it free of charge.
