Generators calculators
Estimate generator running load, motor-starting kVA, fuel use and runtime from backup or temporary-supply assumptions.
Generators calculators project basis
Estimate generator running load, motor-starting kVA, fuel use and runtime from backup or temporary-supply assumptions. These calculators support Australian design, estimating, installation and verification preparation. Keep the circuit, equipment, route, supply arrangement and source data with the result before it is used in a project record.

Confirm the nominal 230/400 V a.c. or project-specific voltage basis, 50 Hz context where applicable, phase arrangement, metric units, manufacturer information, DNSP or authority conditions and current project documents before applying a result.
Check entered values, supply arrangement, cable or equipment data, product limits, DNSP or authority conditions and review limits before using the result.
Records covered
- Generator load and starting kVAEstimate generator running load and selected motor-starting kVA from entered load-sequence assumptions. Inputs: Project reference, phase arrangement, voltage, other running kVA, motor FLC, starting multiplier and optional comparison kVA. Output: Generator planning worksheet requiring manufacturer, authority, DNSP and project review before equipment decisions.
- Generator fuel consumptionEstimate generator fuel use and cost from entered load, fuel rate and runtime. Inputs: Generator load, fuel rate, run time and optional fuel cost. Output: Fuel-use worksheet for Australian backup and temporary-supply records.
- Generator runtimeEstimate generator runtime from entered fuel capacity and fuel-use assumptions. Inputs: Fuel capacity, fuel rate, usable fuel and reserve runtime. Output: Runtime worksheet for Australian generator backup records.
Review before applying
Generators calculator results are preparation records. Keep entered values beside current Australian requirements, DNSP or authority conditions, manufacturer information and project documents before applying a result.
Recheck the selected calculator whenever the supply arrangement, equipment data, route length, tariff basis, measurement method or project document set changes.
- Generator fuel consumptionReview generator fuel use and fuel-cost records.
- Generator runtimeReview generator runtime from entered fuel capacity and usage assumptions.
- Motor starting currentReview the motor starting-current assumption before generator comparison.
- Motor voltage dipReview voltage change during the selected starting event.
