Automatic Home Standby Generators

Sizing Guide
 Important Notices
This booklet is designed to familiarize estimators and installers with proper sizing guidelines for residential and commercial
generators. 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 kilowatts 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, it is recommended that the backup power system be installed, serviced and repaired by a Generator
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.

• Calculated neutral load determined by 220.61 . (Additional 70% demand factor can be
taken for cooking appliances and dryers when tables 220.54 and/or 220.55 are used)
GENERAL LOADS 220.82 (A)

General Lighting and General-Use Receptacles

• Calculate at 3 VA per square foot 220.82 (B) (1)
• Use exterior dimensions of the home to calculate square footage – do not include
open porches, garages or unused or unfinished spaces not adaptable for future use.
• Add 20-amp small appliance & laundry circuits @ 1500 VA each 220.82 (B) (2)
Calculate the following loads at 100% of nameplate rating 220.82 (B) (3)
• Appliances fastened in place, permanently connected or located on a specific circuit 220.82 (B) (3) a
• Ranges, wall-mounted ovens, counter-mounted cooking units (Tables 220.54 & 220.55) 220.82 (B) (3) b
• Clothes dryers not connected to the laundry branch circuit 220.82 (B) (3) c
• Water heaters 220.82 (B) (3) d
• Permanently connected motors not included in Heat & Air-Conditioning Load section 220.82 (B) (4)
HEATING & AIR-CONDITIONING LOADS 220.82 (C )

Include the largest of the following six selections (kVA load) in calculation
Air Conditioning and Cooling 220.82 (C) (1)
• 100% of nameplate rating
Heat Pumps Without Supplemental Electric Heating 220.82 (C) (2)
• 100% of nameplate rating
Heat Pumps With Supplemental Electric Heating 220.82 (C) (3)
• 100% of nameplate rating of the heat pump compressor*
• 65% of nameplate rating of supplemental electric heating equipment
-If compressor & supplemental heat cannot run at the same time
do not include the compressor
Electric Space Heating
• Less than 4 separately controlled units@ 65% of nameplate rating 220.82 (C) (4)
• 4 or more separately controlled units @ 40% of nameplate rating 220.82 (C) (5)
• 40% of nameplate rating if 4 or more separately controlled units
Electric Thermal Storage (or system where the load is expected to be 220.82 (C) (6)
continuous at nameplate rating
• 100% of nameplate rating
• Systems of this type cannot be calculated under any other section of 220.82 (C).

LOAD CALCULATIONS
General Lighting Load 3VAxft2
• Small Appliance & Laundry Circuits + 1500 VA per circuit
• General Appliances & Motors (1 00% rated load) + Total general appliances
• Sum of all General Loads = Total General Load (VA)
APPLY DEMAND FACTORS
- First 10 kVA@ 100% = 10,000 VA
- Remainder of General Loads @ 40% (Total VA -10,000) x .40
= Calculated General Load (VA)

• HEAT I A-C LOAD@ 100% Largest Heat or A-Q Load (VA)

= TOTAL CALCULATED LOAD

Converting VA TO kW (Single-phase applications with 1.0 power factor only) 1 kVA = 1 kW
