60kVA Generators – common questions

FAQ

What is the fuel consumption of 60 KVA generators per hour?

A 60 KVA generator might consume 7 to 15 litres of diesel per hour when it’s at full load, but this is just an estimate. Your generator’s actual consumption rate depends on age, engine health and fuel quality.

The operating conditions will also make a difference, as certain environments can place more strain on the generator.

What is the maximum load for a 60 kVA generator?

Generators are usually rated in kVA instead of kW, but the maximum load is usually 60 kilowatts (kW). However, the generator’s Power Factor will determine its maximum load.

The average Power Factor is between 0.8 and 0.95, so a 60 kVA generator’s load limit might be reduced to 48 kW.

Where can I use a 60kVA diesel generator?

The applications for a 60 kVA generator are diverse, with most models being able to provide support for medium-scale operations, including:

  • Commercial stores 
  • Residential properties 
  • Small factories 
  • Off-grid construction sites 
  • Small outdoor events 

A larger generator might be best if you have extensive power needs or want to power industrial-grade equipment for long periods of time.
