How do I calculate what size generator I need?
- Full load kW = Total amps x supply voltage / 1,000.
- Reserve capacity = Full load kW x 0.25.
- For 100 percent power, generator size = Full load kW + reserve capacity.
- Retail application: 50 kW + 10 watts per square foot.
- Other commercial application: 50 kW + 5 watts per square foot.
