What can you calculate using this Calculator? Amperes when kVA is known Converting kVA to kW Converting kW to kVA Converting kW to HP kVA Required to run motors | Guide to units HP = Horsepower kW = Kilo Watts kVA = Kilo Volt Amps I = Ampere or Current V = Volts PF = Power Factor |
Generator Selection
The generator size must be equal or greater than the total consumption of all applications. The higher starting requirement must he taken into account accordingly.
To maximize the generator potential, the largest electrical motor should be started on its own and further appliances should only be switched on thereafter.
