Before installation contact local jurisdiction to confirm all requirements are met. Jurisdictions may vary.
Eaton recommends contacting local authorities prior to installation.
Loads: Look for heavy building loads such as refrigeration, air conditioning, pumps or UPS systems.
Motor Load Table (Refer to Table 1) Use the following for sizing and determining generator kW.
Device HP RA LRA kW Rnning (= HP) Starting kW
•
Starting kW for HP < 7.5 starting kW = HP x 3
•
Starting kW for HP > 7.5 starting kW = HP x 2
•
Starting kW for loading with no listed HP, calculate HP based on running amps in the chart on the right
Non-Motor Load Table (Refer to Table 2) Use the following for sizing and determining
generator kW.
Device Amps kW

To Calculate kW
120 V 1ø Amps x 120/1000 = kW
240 V 1ø Amps x 240/1000 = kW
208 V 3ø (Amps x 208 x 1.732 x PF) /1000 = kW
240 V 3ø (Amps x 240 x 1.732 x PF) /1000 = kW
480 V 3ø (Amps x 480 x 1.732 x PF) /1000 = kW
Install notes:
•
Suggested concrete pad minimum thickness of 4” with 6” overhang on all sides. Composite
pad included with air-cooled products.
•
Consult manual for installation recommendations.
•
Consult local authority having jurisdiction for local requirements.
