| Factor | 500 kVA Generator | 750 kVA Generator |
|---|---|---|
| Approx. output at 0.8 PF | 400 kW | 600 kW |
| Typical site size | Mid-size construction, commercial buildings | Larger construction projects, multi-building sites |
| Mobilisation footprint | Smaller, easier access | Larger unit, needs more laydown space |
| When to step up | N/A | Connected load exceeds ~400 kW after starting-current margin |
Which should you choose?
If your calculated requirement sits close to 400 kW after applying a starting-current safety margin, a 500 kVA unit is usually sufficient. If the load is closer to or above 500 kW, move up to 750 kVA rather than running a 500 kVA unit near its limit.
