MULTI-MACHINE GENERATOR

Sum verified machine input loads, apply the simultaneous-use factors you specify, and add your reserve. This is a planning comparison, not a generator selection approval.

MACHINE INPUTS

For each row, enter either input current or input kVA. Voltage and phase are needed only when calculating kVA from current.

Enter auxiliary kVA to include an auxiliary load in the generator kVA total. Auxiliary kW is displayed separately and cannot be converted without power factor.

LOAD BREAKDOWN

Add one or more machines, then calculate.

Disclaimer

Verify each machine's manufacturer input requirement, generator voltage and phase compatibility, transient performance, voltage regulation, altitude/temperature derating, and local electrical requirements. Simultaneous-use factors are your operating assumption; this calculator does not model starting or arc transients.
