How to calculate the diesel generator efficiency? what
details are required to identify the running diesel
generator sets with 1000 kVA & 180 kVA?

Answer Posted / rajendra marathe

Efficiency is the ratio of Outpur/Input. In terms of
Generator, it is considered the efficiency is 80%. 1000KVA
is the Vertual power of Generator. KiloWatt is the actual
power of the generator.On basis of KW the ampere rating
load capacity is calculated. For 1000 KVA , KW is 800. The
ampere rating is =1000x KW/240 for Single phase and for 3
phase =1000xkw/440. The Efficiency can be calculated on the
basis of load ampere it can withstand.

1. The DC generaror,s induced output emf is connected with a DC motor(as load). when increasing the load of the motor by using brake drum or any way. what are the parameters will changes in both motor and generator(voltage, current, resistance, frequency, speed, torque, power, flux etc...) 2. Similarly for AC generator and AC motor 3. similarly if using DC batteries instead of DC generator, What happens?
