Answer / vivek sri
A correction to my earlier answer(8)
In case we are to use a 3 phase generator then the total
current of 218.75 has to be equally shared between the 3
phases i.e. Iph=218.75/3=72.9 Amps.
So the genset rating would be again 52.5kVA(1.732*415*72.9).
But in actual as the number of AC's is 20;
18 Ac's get distributed equally (6 on each phase L-N) and
the balance 2 nos will be on one phase each.
So the max current will be 76.58 (18/3*10.94+10.94).
So the 3 phase genset rating would be 55kVA (1.732*415*76.58)

Answer / girijapati mishra
TOTAL REF LOAD =1.5X20 =30 TR
1 TR = 3.5 KW
Thus , 30 TR = 105 KW
COP (i.e ratio of heat removed vs power input ) for AC
varies from 2.5 to 3 depending on design and other
considerations.
Assuming a COP 2.5 ( lower side)
Power required will be 42 kw (=105/2.5).
Considering power factor 0.8 ( gen assumption for all
caculations) rating of the DG set will be 52.5kva ( =42/0.8)
. A DG set higher than this calculated value to to selected
for this requirement.

Answer / sathish reddy
45 KVA Diesel Genset is requied. Calculation is as follows,
20 * 1.5 = 30
Multiply by the MF 1.4
i.e. 30*1.4 = 42 KVA
As after 40 KVA we have 45 KVA as next higher capacity we
have to go by 45 KVA.

Answer / lokesh thota
Actually a 1.5tonn a/c will take 15amp at its maximum level
on 220v supply.so,for 20 such ac's you will need around 300
amps from that you can calculate how much Kva d.g u r need
with according to the vol you r selecting

Answer / prakash suhane
Total Load in T.R = 20X1.5 =30 T.R
1 T.R = 3.5 kw
for 30 T.R 30 X 3.5 = 105 K.w
any D.G set available more then 105 KVA is suitable for
this application.

Answer / 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.

Dear vivak
first , we see.what is EER of used ac system , if ac EER
is 8. ac load less 20% .
then
1.5 ton= 18000 btu = 5.250kw
20 nos. acs load =20*5.250KW
= 105 KW
DG pf is 0.8 and DG safty margine is 20%.
than 105*1.4=147KVA
we use 150kva DG and more .

I am interested to know what does 15 KVA DG set actually means? If I dont know the DG rating, is it possible to identify KW by simply knowing the diesel consumption?
I am working as a software engineer for the past 4 years. I am interested to do M.tech in premier inst. like IIT, IIIT, NIT,... I am preparing for the GATE exam for the past 2 years. Can anyone tell me how about the placement in IIT's for m.tech in (microelectronics and vlsi or electronics related discipline). Some of them are telling like placement is very rare for m.tech electronics. Also the placement details in IIT websites are not true. Is that so ? can any one help us regarding this.
