One that is too large is inefficient and wastes capital.

For an office, this includes lights, computers, servers, and air conditioning. For a factory, it's critical machinery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">Step 2: Calculate the Total Power Requirement (kVA)<\/h3>\r\n<p>Each appliance has a power rating in Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Find the starting and running wattage for motors and compressors (A\/C units), as starting wattage can be 3x higher.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Sum the running wattage of all resistive loads (lights, computers).<\/li>\r\n    <li>Add the highest starting wattage to the sum of all other running wattages.<\/li>\r\n    <li>Convert total kW to kVA by dividing by a power factor (typically 0.8). <strong>Total kVA = Total kW \/ 0.8<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">Step 3: Consider Future Expansion<\/h3>\r\n<p>Add a buffer of 20-25% to your calculated kVA to accommodate future growth and ensure the generator isn't constantly running at 100% capacity, which prolongs its life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">Example for a Small Factory:<\/h3>\r\n<p>Assume you have machinery (10kW running, 30kW starting), lighting (5kW), and office equipment (3kW).<br>\r\nTotal Load = (30kW starting) + (10kW + 5kW + 3kW - 10kW* for the machine already counted in starting) ) = ~38kW.<br>\r\nTotal kVA = 38kW \/ 0.8 = 47.5 kVA. With a 25% buffer, you would look for a ~60 kVA generator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For accurate sizing and a quote on a reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocon-tec.com\/vi\/silent\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">silent<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocon-tec.com\/vi\/open-frame\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">open frame<\/a> unit, it's always best to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocon-tec.com\/vi\/contact-us-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #F97C4A;\">contact us<\/a> for a professional assessment.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t Guess, Calculate: Sizing Your Power Solution Correctly Selecting a generator that is too small leads to overload and failure.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[200,151,199,201,198],"class_list":["post-17126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology-operation","tag-business-backup-power","tag-generator-sizing","tag-kva-calculation","tag-load-calculation","tag-vietnam-power-guide"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Guide to Selecting the Right Generator Size for Your Business in Vietnam - generator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Avoid generator sizing mistakes in Vietnam.
