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          ( 6X25 A ,50V DC with eff.  0.85 & pf  0.85 ) Non-linear 10.38 1.00 10.38 60% 6.23 85% 8.82
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 15.18 8.73
Total Single Phase Load 8.73 KVA Genset  rating 10 KVA
Assuming above single phase load  equally distributed 2.91 KVA
Assuming that the largest load is started at last
Base Load on generator 8.73 - 2.3 .= 6.43 KVA
KVA required  while starting last load .= 6.43+11.5 .= 17.93 KVA*
For Gen set of 10 KVA short time capacity is 20 KVA.( 2 times the Rated capacity)
* this value is within short time capacity ,hence the Gen set rating is  10 KVA. I
Total KVA required at site 8.73 KVA
Reserve for future 15% 1.31
10.04 KVA
Derating for Altitude 500 m,Temp 40 0 C  & Humidity 90% RH 0.92
Gen set Rating 10.91 KVA
Standard available Gen set  15 KVA Three phase alternator -As single load 6.43 KVA is more than that can put on one phase i.e.5 KVA.  II
Recommended Gen set capacity 15 KVA single phase
