how to size a diesel generator set?
Answer / mahesh sali
mostly total electrical cal.in KW at 0.8 pf as per thumb
rule.
KVA = KW/PF
as per nec code norms ur dg set shall be suitable to take
the higher inrush current during starting.
so awalys keep some say 115% to 125 % on induction motor
load.
for ups & lighting system around 200 to 300 %
Toatl kw rating = 1.25 * Kw ( Plant load )
KVA at 0.8 pf = Total kw/0.8
Assume that Dg set loading at 70%
i.e rated KVA = KVA /0.7
adding some 20% future load
i.e. actual DG ser rating in KVA = rated KVA + rated KVA *
20%
Thanks

I hv a question regarding power factor improvement just after transformer. I request you to reply me plzz. thank you sir. My friend has a small unit of fabrication. in his factory the main load is a welding machine, lathe machine, grinding machine. this load is not continuous type. now our electricity board has installed 16 KVA, 11000/433 V transformer for our factory. In the energy meter (trivector meter) at LV side of transformer, i hv seen power factor value of 0.15 only when only 3 KW load was flowing. Further electricity board has suggested to install 4 KVAR capacitor at LV side after energy meter. Now my question is that if we permanantly install and switch on 4 KVAR capacitor after energy meter, during some load on transformer and also without any load on transformer, wht will be the power factor shown in energy meter?i dont want to get any penalty by electricity board, so plz suggest me if i can permanantly install and switch on the 4 kvar capacitor or not at LV side of transformer just after energy meter? Thank you again and awaiting for ur positive reply soon.
