How to correctly calculate the required power of the power generator

Choosing the right power generator is not an easy matter. The performance of the generator is not only about the performance of the alternator. A power generator is a source of electrical energy that is produced using an engine. The engine drives our power generator.

• Gasoline – our most common variant
• Cardan – a power generator usually driven by a cardan, e.g. from a tractor, usually a diesel engine
• Gas – an independent solution also suitable for automatics, except for the lower power, it has the advantage that if it is connected to the gas distribution, there is no need to top up the tank

The correct selection of the power generator is important for the correct operation of the powered equipment. It is important to know not only what power is needed to the operate device, but especially what power is needed to start up a specific device. Especially for engines with compressors, for example, the normal power must be multiplied by a factor of 5 so that the power plant can turn the compressor.
