three phase 180kva diesel generator can take how much load
in amp and what is formula to get this?

Answer Posted / gins

Now a days DG manufactures assuring that the DGs can be
loaded up to 120% of its rated capacity. But it is always
good to design DG for a maximum load of 80% of the rated
capacity to get the maximum efficient running. In your case
You can load a maximum load of 125.8 kW at pf 0.85. So you
have to give an incomer of MCCB with rating suitable for
125.8kW.

W=root3 x VI x pf
so I = W/root3 x V x pf
I think 250A, 16kA, 4Pole MCCB with 80% plug setting may be
suitable for you.

Accordingly select your incomer with suitable kA rating
with respect to your total load.
