What kind of engine would it take to provide 20kW from that genset?
If it's small, perhaps the separation would be a good idea.


Minimum 200 hp. Something like say.. a Detroit 6-71

??? I can provide a good, solid 8KW from an 18HP engine.

So, you're saying that 2.5x that would take TWELVE TIMES the HP?

Somebody's numbers are wrong -- maybe mine.

Ig said it was a 250KVA (250KW). You're saying 20. ????

250 KVA isnt 250 Kw

I dont have a clue what the power factor would be.
