The information is not comprehensive, nor does it replace or supercede any material contained in any of the written documents shipped with the equipment. This booklet should only be used in conjunction with the Owner’s Manual, Installation Manual and other technical documents shipped with each product. Always read all accompanying documentation carefully before attempting to install any generator, transfer switch or related equipment. How To Use This Booklet: Within this booklet, you will find electrical load information, plus an outline of generator surge capability, fuel pipe sizing, liquid propane tank sizing, and UPS / generator compatibility. The worksheet pages can be removed from the book and photocopied to create additional Onsite Estimating Sheets for use with individual jobs. Safety Information: Proper sizing of the generator is crucial to the success of any installation and requires a good working knowledge of electricity and its characteristics, as well as the varying requirements of the electrical equipment comprising the load. When analyzing the electrical load, consult the manufacturer’s nameplate on each major appliance or piece of equipment to determine its starting and running requirements in terms of watts, amps and voltage. When choosing the generator output for commercial or industrial applications, select a rating that is approximately 20 to 25% higher than the peak load (for example, if the load is about 40 kilowatts, select a 50 kW genset). A higher rated generator will operate comfortably at approximately 80% of its full capacity and will provide a margin of flexibility if the load increases in the future. For safety reasons, Eaton recommends that the backup power system be installed, serviced and repaired by an Eaton Authorized Service Dealer or a competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. It is essential to comply with all regulations established by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and strict adherence to all local, state and national codes is mandatory. Before selecting a generator, check for municipal ordinances that may dictate requirements regarding placement of the unit (setback from building and/or lot line), electrical wiring, gas piping, fuel storage (for liquid propane or diesel tanks), sound and exhaust emissions. If you have a technical question regarding sizing or installation, contact Eaton’s Technical Service Center toll free at 1-800-975-8331 during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST). 3 Technical Data TD00405018E Effective August 2009 Generator Sizing Guide EATON CORPORATION www.eaton.com T able 1.
