Who is this size for?

A 20 kVA set typically powers villas, shops, small offices, telecom shelters and site cabins.

At this size a silent canopy and single- or three-phase output are the usual choices; Kubota and Perkins 400 Series engines keep noise and fuel low.

Frequently asked questions

About 16 kW of running load at 0.8 power factor. Keep 20–25 % headroom for motor starting and Gulf heat — in practice roughly 13 kW continuous, for example around 5 split AC units of 2 tons, or the equivalent mix of lighting, pumps and equipment.

Roughly 2.2 L/h at 50 % load, 3.1 L/h at 75 % and 4.3 L/h at full load. Exact figures depend on the engine model; we include the manufacturer's fuel curve with every quotation.

Full-load current at 400 V three-phase is about 29 A, so a 63 A ATS is the usual match — or the main incoming breaker rating if that is larger. A 4-pole ATS is recommended where the generator neutral is separately earthed.

It depends on the engine brand, enclosure, controller and whether you need an ATS and fuel tank. Send us the site and delivery city on WhatsApp and we reply the same working day with 2–3 engine options side by side.

Standby (20 kVA) is for emergency backup with limited annual hours. If the set is your main power — a construction site or an area with daily outages — size on the prime rating (about 18 kVA for this set) or choose the next size up.
