Start with the load list
List every major load, including motors, pumps, compressors, lighting, production equipment, office loads and critical systems. Separate running load from starting load so the generator can handle voltage dip during startup.
When parallel systems make sense
Factories with phased expansion, maintenance windows or critical production lines may benefit from two or more synchronized units. This can improve redundancy and allow one unit to be serviced while the others remain available.
CNV POWER manufactures and supplies generator sets from China, while POLKINS GENERATOR SET NIGERIA LIMITED provides local project support, after-sales service, spare parts coordination and technical communication in Nigeria and West Africa.
Factory sizing checklist
- Running kW and kVA load.
- Largest motor starting method.
- Voltage, frequency and phase.
- ATS, synchronization or N+1 redundancy requirement.
- Ventilation, exhaust and fuel storage conditions.

FAQ
How do I choose generator size for a factory?
Start with the running load, add motor starting requirements, then confirm voltage, frequency, runtime and redundancy requirements.
Can one large generator replace several smaller generators?
Sometimes yes, but multiple synchronized units may provide better redundancy, load flexibility and maintenance planning.
What information does CNV POWER need for sizing?
A load list, motor details, operating hours, installation site, fuel preference and ATS or synchronization requirements.
