Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm what I'm doing is correct. I have a cabin that contains basic electrical items (lights, sockets, computer station etc) it gets its supply via a 7 kva transformer (440v primary / 230v secondary). We want to test the transformer is working correctly and will be hiring a generator to do this. I just want to make sure there's nothing special to sizing this generator as iv never done it before. My thinking is that allowing for 20% losses in the transformer I'd size the generator by doing 7000/0.8 = 9.2 kva, then to give it a round number I'd look for a 10 kva generator. Is this a suitable way of doing it or is there more to it?
Thanks in advance
