What can a 50 kVA generator power?
A 50 kVA generator can power a wide range of applications, including larger homes, medium-sized businesses, and multiple office units. It can support critical systems such as heating, cooling, lighting, and IT infrastructure. For businesses, it can keep essential operations running, such as point-of-sale systems, servers, and refrigeration units, making it an ideal solution for industries that cannot afford downtime.
Is a 50 kVA generator portable?
While 50 kVA generators are not lightweight, some models are designed with portability in mind. They may come with skids, wheels, or be mounted on a trailer for easier transportation. However, moving a 50 kVA generator still typically requires a vehicle capable of towing it. Portability features are particularly useful for construction sites, events, or temporary installations where the generator needs to be moved frequently.
How does a 50 kVA generator handle voltage fluctuations?
Modern 50 kVA generators are equipped with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) systems that stabilize the output voltage, ensuring it remains consistent despite fluctuations in load. This is crucial for protecting sensitive equipment such as computers, medical devices, and industrial machinery from damage due to voltage spikes or drops. AVRs help maintain the reliability and safety of the power supply, making 50 kVA generators suitable for a wide range of applications.
Is a 50kVA generator big enough for my business?
A 50kVA generator is well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses, schools, retail outlets, workshops, farms, and larger residential properties. It can comfortably run essential systems such as refrigeration, lighting, HVAC, pumps, and IT equipment.
What’s the difference between a 50kVA standby and a prime power generator?
Standby generators are designed to provide backup power during outages, while prime power generators are built to run for longer periods as a main source of power. Generator Warehouse can advise on the best option depending on your needs.
Are 50kVA generators fuel-efficient?
Yes. Modern diesel engines are designed for maximum efficiency, giving you long run times per tank. Depending on the load, a 50kVA generator can often run 14–20 hours before refuelling.
Do I need planning permission for a 50kVA generator?
In most cases, smaller generators don’t require planning permission, but larger or permanent installations may. Our team can advise on any regulations or site considerations.
