Whether you’re powering a factory floor or a large-scale event, our generators are designed to ensure you have the reliable energy supply you need.
What are the benefits of a 100 kVA generator for large events?
A 100 kVA generator is ideal for large events such as concerts, festivals, weddings, and outdoor exhibitions. It can provide reliable power for lighting, sound systems, catering, and other event infrastructure. The generator’s capacity ensures that all necessary equipment can run simultaneously without risk of power outages, which is crucial for the success of the event. Additionally, its portability and ease of setup make it a practical choice for event organizers.
How does a 100 kVA generator connect to a building's electrical system?
A 100 kVA generator connects to a building’s electrical system using an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS monitors the main power supply and automatically switches to the generator when it detects a power outage. Once grid power is restored, the ATS switches back to the main supply, ensuring a seamless transition. This setup is particularly useful for businesses and institutions where an uninterrupted power supply is critical, such as data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing plants.
What are the running costs of a 100 kVA generator?
The running costs of a 100 kVA generator include fuel, maintenance, and potential wear and tear on parts. Fuel consumption at full load is typically around 10-12 litres per hour, with diesel being the most common and cost-effective fuel. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections, is essential to prevent costly repairs and ensure reliable operation. It’s important to factor in these ongoing costs when considering the total cost of ownership.
What can a 100kVA generator power?
A 100kVA generator can power many things. Here’s some popular uses:
- Small to medium office buildings
- Construction sites
- Warehouses
- Schools or clinics
- Backup power for large homes with high energy usage
It can run lighting, computers, air conditioning, pumps, and other essential equipment.
Is a 100kVA generator suitable for standby or prime power use?
Yes. A 100kVA generator can be used for:
Standby power – as a backup in case of mains failure.
Prime power – for regular use in off-grid locations (e.g., construction or mining sites).
Make sure the generator model is rated accordingly.
Is a 100kVA generator three-phase or single-phase?
Most 100kVA generators are three-phase, ideal for commercial and industrial use. However, some can be configured for single-phase output if needed.
How loud is a 100kVA generator?
With a soundproof (canopied) enclosure, typical noise levels are:
65–75 dB(A) at 7 metres
This is about the same as background office noise. Open sets are louder and generally used in industrial areas.
However this can really vary depending on the brand and model. We can also customise the canopy to help reduce noise levels.
What are the dimensions and weight of a 100kVA generator?
Approximate figures:
Dimensions: 2.5 – 3.0 metres (L) x 1.0 – 1.2 metres (W) x 1.5 – 1.8 metres (H)
Weight: 1,300 – 1,800 kg
Again, these vary by brand, engine, and canopy design.
