Genset Sizing

[AB2005]

Hi,

 

The management of my company has given me a task to calculate a genset (Diesel Engine and Alternator) for a machine. The load data of machine is as following;

 

Input voltage = 400VAC

Frequency = 50HZ

Main Motor = 37KW, 4poles (Eddy current motor)

Auxiliary motors = 2 x 2.2KW, 4poles

Setting motors = 4 x 0.45KW, 8poles

 

I have no more experience for genset sizing. I have read the paper "Genset sizing" by Marke, but I haven't cleared. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello AB2005

 

If you download my Electrical Calculations software from busbar32.exe

you will find calculations for genset sizing under the supply menu.

In you case, you can assume a single motor as the small ones are insignificant.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,
