Separating generator capacity from transfer rating
Provide both equipment specifications and intended loads. A higher-rated transfer arrangement does not increase generator output or establish that every connected load can operate together.
Prepare two load lists: essentials that must run together and equipment that can wait. Include motor starting data where available so the operating plan is clearer than a total of appliance running watts.
Why can two ratings differ?
Transfer equipment has its own capacity rating, while the generator determines available generated output. Selecting a higher-rated transfer component does not increase the source's capability.
The plan should relate both to the chosen loads and operating sequence. MKB can define the connections and any relevant control provisions, making realistic outage operation clearer than a comparison based on one large equipment number.
Details to include with this request
- Transfer rating
- Generator output information
- Intended simultaneous loads
