Generator Sizing

Generator Sizing
Note: Always consult the generator
manufacturer when questions arise.
These sizing charts are recommendations based on motor
service factor loading for typical continuous duty generators. If
you need to call the generator manufacturer, be prepared to tell
them the motor KVA code, the service factor amperage, locked
rotor amperage, phase, hertz, motor type, etc.
You must know which type generator you have before using the
charts as the required generator size varies by type. Internally
regulated generators are also called self-excited. Externally
regulated generators are the most common. In addition to the
Kw/KVA rating, the generator frequency (Hertz, typically

60 HZ in USA) is very important when operating pumping
equipment because frequency variations affect pump output in
direct relation to the pump Affinity Laws. Operating under 60
hertz will reduce flow and head while operating over 60 hertz
will increase flow, head, HP and amp draw and could overload
the motor.
The generator should always be started before the pump/
motor is started and always stop the pump/motor before
shutting down the generator. Operating generators at higher
elevations or using natural gas as fuel can affect performance,
consult the generator manufacturer for their recommendations
in these instances.
