  These calculators will assit you in determining what size generator you may require or how to convert one unit of electricity to another.  
 
They calculate:
  • Amperes when kVA is known
  • Converting kVA to kW
  • Converting kW to kVA
  • Converting kW to HP
  • kVA Required to run motors
  • Guide to units:
     HP = Horsepower
     kW = Kilo Watts
     kVA = Kilo Volt Amps
    I = Ampere or Current
    V = Volts
    PF = Power Factor

        Wattage Requirement Guide
        Sizing Data - Power Consumption

     Converting kVA to kW
    kVA = kW
     Converting kW to kVA
    kW = kVA

     Converting kW to HP
    kW = HP

     What size genset is needed to start a 3 phase electric motor Direct on Line (DOL) start

    Generator Size to Start Motors

    Instructions: You only need to fill in the columns coloured in blue.
    Fill in the HP of the motor(s) in their starting squence, select the start method (Direct On Line or Star Delta) and press Evaluate. The required generator size will then be displayed at the bottom.

    3 Phase (415 volt @ 50Hz)
    1 Phase (240 volt @ 50Hz)
