How Much Capacity of Diesel Genset is suitable for
20 no.s of 1.5ton AC's & Why?(Load Calculation)

Answer Posted / jagjeet

Dear vIVEK,
Avinash has given correct answer , Generally pf of the
Dg Set is 0.8 and for calculation we are taking 20 %

Pf of Dg set is ==0.8
Safety Marging = 20 %
Future Expansion =20%
so 1.4*105/0.8=183KVA so you will have to go for 180 KVA
DG Set.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
