ENGINE ALTERNATOR SET CAPACITY CALCULATION


LOAD    ANALYSIS
Sr.No. Load Details Load Type (Non-linear /Motor/   Lighting) Rated KVA Quantity Connected Load      KVA Utilisation Factor Peak Load     KVA Starting Current Starting KVA
Three Phase Load
1 NIL
Single Phase Load
1 Equipment Load          ( 4X25 A ,50V DC with eff.  0.85 & pf  0.85 ) Non-linear 6.92 1.00 6.92 60% 4.15 85% 5.88
2 Windo Air conditioner                  ( 10A,230 V AC) Motor 2.3 2 4.6 0.5 2.3 50 11.5
3 Tube Fittings                 (2x40 W) Lighting 0.1 2 0.2 1 0.2
Total 11.72 6.65
Total Single Phase Load 6.65 KVA Genset  rating 7.5 KVA
Assuming above single phase load  equally distributed 2.22 KVA
Assuming that the largest load is started at last
Base Load on generator 6.65 - 2.3 .= 4.35 KVA
KVA required  while starting last load .= 4.35+11.5 .= 15.85 KVA*
For Gen set of 7.5 KVA short time capacity is 15 KVA.( 2 times the Rated capacity)
* this value exceeds short time capacity ,hence the Gen set rating is increased accordingly to 10 KVA. I
Total KVA required at site 6.65 KVA
Reserve for future 15% 1.00
7.65 KVA
Derating for Altitude 500 m,Temp 40 0 C  & Humidity 90% RH 0.92
Gen set Rating 8.32 KVA
Standard available Gen set  10 KVA Single phase II
Recommended Gen set capacity 10 KVA Single phase
