At the usual 0.8 power factor, 50 kVA gives you roughly 40 kW of running load. Leave headroom for motors: pumps, compressors and aircons draw several times their running current for a moment when they start. On a three-phase set, spread single-phase loads evenly across the phases so no phase is overloaded.<\/p>\n<h2>Before you order<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Send us your load list (or a photo of the main DB) and we will confirm the size before you pay.<\/li>\n<li>Ask for the data-plate standby and prime ratings if the set will run for long periods; size on the prime rating.<\/li>\n<li>Plan the changeover: the set must be connected through a changeover switch by a registered electrician, who issues the Certificate of Compliance.<\/li>\n<li>Check where it will stand: level base, airflow around the canopy, and exhaust pointed away from windows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Compare other sizes in <a href=\"\/af\/departement\/power-solutions\/generators\/three-phase-generators\/\">three-phase generators<\/a> or browse <a href=\"\/af\/departement\/power-solutions\/generators\/\">all diesel generators<\/a>.
