Important Notices
This booklet is designed to familiarize estimators and installers with proper sizing guidelines for residential and commercial
generators. The information is not comprehensive, nor does it replace or supercede any material contained in any of
the written documents shipped with the equipment. This booklet should only be used in conjunction with the Owner’s
documentation carefully before attempting to install any generator, transfer switch or related equipment.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOKLET:
Within this booklet, you will nd electrical load information, plus an outline of generator surge capability, fuel pipe sizing,
liquid propane tank sizing, and UPS / generator compatibility. The worksheet pages can be removed from the book and
photocopied to create additional Onsite Estimating Sheets for use with individual jobs.
SAFETY INFORMATION:
Proper sizing of the generator is crucial to the success of any installation and requires a good working knowledge of
electricity and its characteristics, as well as the varying requirements of the electrical equipment comprising the load. When
analyzing the electrical load, consult the manufacturer’s nameplate on each major appliance or piece of equipment to
determine its starting and running requirements in terms of watts, amps and voltage. When choosing the generator output
for commercial or industrial applications, select a rating that is approximately 20 to 25% higher than the peak load (for
example, if the load is about 40 kilowatts, select a 50 kilowatts genset). A higher rated generator will operate comfortably at
approximately 80% of its full capacity and will provide a margin of exibility if the load increases in the future.
For safety reasons, it is recommended that the backup power system be installed, serviced and repaired by a Generator
Authorized Service Dealer or a competent, qualied electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable
codes, standards and regulations.
It is essential to comply with all regulations established by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and
strict adherence to all local, state and national codes is mandatory. Before selecting a generator, check for municipal
ordinances that may dictate requirements regarding placement of the unit (setback from building and/or lot line), electrical
wiring, gas piping, fuel storage (for liquid propane or diesel tanks), sound and exhaust emissions.

UPS - Generator Compatibility
Passive (also referenced as
standby or off-line) and Line-Interactive
These technologies are most common for personal workstations and point of sale applications. They are typically single phase equipment with size ranges of 350 VA - 2000 VA for passive and 500 VA to 5000 VA for line-interactive.
Passive UPS’s are the simplest type. Under normal conditions AC power passes straight through to the UPS load. When the input power supply goes outside of specications, the UPS transfers the load from input power to the internal DC to AC power inverter. Passive UPS’s do not correct for voltage or frequency deviations under “normal” operation.
Line-interactive is similar to the passive technology except it has circuitry that attempts to correct for standard voltage deviations. Frequency deviations under “normal” power operation are not corrected.
Equipment Notes: These devices tend to be electrically / harmonically very noisy. A single small UPS is not a signicant concern, but
applications with multiple UPS’s can be problematic. Passive UPS technology typically has normal tolerances of 10-25% on voltage and 3 Hertz on frequency. Minuteman UPS input tolerance is closer to 10-36%. If the input source goes outside of these tolerances, the UPS will switch onto the UPS battery source. Some line-interactive units may have frequency tolerances factory set to 0.5 Hertz. These units will need to have their frequency tolerance increased to a minimum of 2 Hertz. Minuteman UPS products are close to 5 Hertz and not 0.5 Hertz.
Generator Sizing Recommendation: Limit the total UPS loading to 15% - 20% of the generator capacity.
Double-Conversion
This technology is most common for critical load applications. Double­conversion UPS’s constantly rectify AC to DC and then invert the DC back into AC. This conguration results in an output that corrects for voltage and frequency deviations.
There are single and three phase models covering small through large applications. Most UPS applications
larger than 5000 VA use double conversion technology. This approach is also the preferred technology for generator applications.
Equipment Notes: Double-conversion UPS’s that are single phase or unltered three phase models tend to create a signicant level of electrical/ harmonic noise. This is illustrated by harmonic current distortions that are greater than 35%. Minuteman UPS products could have current distortion of 8%. When three phase models are supplied with harmonic lters (current distortion less than 10%), this concern is no longer an issue.
Generator Sizing Recommendation: Single phase models: limit the total UPS loading to 25% of the generator capacity. Single phase Minuteman UPS models: limit the total UPS loading to 50% of the generator capacity. Three phase models without lters (current distortion > 30%): limit the UPS loading to 35% of the generator capacity. Three phase models with lters (current distortion < 10%): limit the UPS loading to 80% of the generator capacity.

Generator Sizing Instructions:
There is not a single correct sizing solution. Following are several methods that, when mixed with good judgement, should result in an appropriately sized generator. Remember to consider load growth, seasonality, and effects of starting motors.
As municipalities and states adopt the new 2011 NEC Electrical Code, there may be new sizing requirements, spelled out in the code book, which the installation technician must follow. Always check with the local inspection department to conrm which code cycle will affect your install.
Never add amps when sizing a generator. Convert amps to kW and add kW to determine the required generator size. Power factors for various motor loads vary widely. Adding amps without properly accounting for the power factor and/or mixing voltages will result in improperly sizing the generator.
When motors start, they create a current surge that step loads the generator and creates a voltage dip. After selecting a generator, reference the generator's surge capability using table 3. Verify that voltage dip is adequate for the application. Most commercial applications should be limited to about 15% voltage dip and residential applications should be limited to a 30% voltage dip.
Some applications utilize an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to back up critical loads. Please read sizing guide for this load type.
Measurement Method
Use a clamp-on amp meter or power analyzer to measure facility load levels. Clamp each leg separately and take the measurement during peak usage levels.
240V 1ø Applications: To determine peak usage in kW, add the highest amp readings from the two legs, multiply by 120 and divide by 1,000. (L1 + L2)120 / 1000 Size the generator 10 to 20% larger than the peak measured load.
3ø Applications: Add the peak amp readings from all three legs and divide by 3 to determine peak amps. Multiply peak Amps by volts, multiply the result by 1.732 (square root of 3), then divide by 1000 to convert amps to kW. Peak Amps = (L1 + L2 + L3) / 3 kW = [(Peak amps x Volts) x 1.732] / 1000* *Assumes power factor of 1.0 Size the generator 20 to 25% larger than the peak measured load.
Peak amps = _____________ Peak kW= _____________
Determining Existing Loads/Billing History Method 220.87 NEC 20 11
Many customers have a utility rate structure that has a peak demand charge. Using a year's worth of electric bills, size the generator 25% larger than the largest peak demand.
Verify motor and UPS load compatibility. Peak Demand = _______
Load Summation Method
1) Enter running kW for all motor loads (except the largest) expected to run during peak load
levels into table 6. Refer to table 1 for typical motor load sizes and electrical require­ments.
2) Enter kW for all non-motor loads expected to run during peak load levels into table 7. Refer to table 2 for typical residential loads and rules of thumb.
3) Add the running motor load kW, non-motor load kW, and the starting kW of the largest motor load.
Motor load running total (minus largest motor): _______________ kW (ref. table 8) Non-motor load total: _______________ kW (ref. table 9) Starting load from largest cycling motor: _______________ kW (ref. table 8) Total electrical loads: = _________ _____ kW
Select generator: Commercial (add 20 to 25% to total kW) Residential (add 10 to 20% to total kW)
4) Conrm that voltage dip is within acceptable limits by comparing motor LRA to generator surge
capability (see table #3).
5) Conrm UPS compatibility (see page 6).
System Capacity – Load Calculation
If the local municipality or state you are in has adopted the 2011 NEC Code, you may be
required to use this step. Article 702 of the 2011 NEC includes a new requirement for sizing (702.4). If no other method for sizing is acceptable, sizing of the generator shall be made in accordance with Article 220 of the NEC. The system capacity estimating sheet will guide you through this process.
PMM Load Control Module 702.4 (B) (2) (a) NEC 2011

Generator Sizing Instructions:
There is not a single correct sizing solution. Following are several methods that, when mixed with good judgement, should result in an appropriately sized generator. Remember to consider load growth, seasonality, and effects of starting motors.
As municipalities and states adopt the new 2011 NEC Electrical Code, there may be new sizing requirements, spelled out in the code book, which the installation technician must follow. Always check with the local inspection department to conrm which code cycle will affect your install.
Never add amps when sizing a generator. Convert amps to kW and add kW to determine the required generator size. Power factors for various motor loads vary widely. Adding amps without properly accounting for the power factor and/or mixing voltages will result in improperly sizing the generator.
When motors start, they create a current surge that step loads the generator and creates a voltage dip. After selecting a generator, reference the generator's surge capability using table 3. Verify that voltage dip is adequate for the application. Most commercial applications should be limited to about 15% voltage dip and residential applications should be limited to a 30% voltage dip.
Some applications utilize an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to back up critical loads. Please read sizing guide for this load type.
Measurement Method
Use a clamp-on amp meter or power analyzer to measure facility load levels. Clamp each leg separately and take the measurement during peak usage levels.
240V 1ø Applications: To determine peak usage in kW, add the highest amp readings from the two legs, multiply by 120 and divide by 1,000. (L1 + L2)120 / 1000 Size the generator 10 to 20% larger than the peak measured load.
3ø Applications: Add the peak amp readings from all three legs and divide by 3 to determine peak amps. Multiply peak Amps by volts, multiply the result by 1.732 (square root of 3), then divide by 1000 to convert amps to kW. Peak Amps = (L1 + L2 + L3) / 3 kW = [(Peak amps x Volts) x 1.732] / 1000* *Assumes power factor of 1.0 Size the generator 20 to 25% larger than the peak measured load.
Peak amps = _____________ Peak kW= _____________
Determining Existing Loads/Billing History Method 220.87 NEC 20 11
Many customers have a utility rate structure that has a peak demand charge. Using a year's worth of electric bills, size the generator 25% larger than the largest peak demand.
Verify motor and UPS load compatibility. Peak Demand = _______
Load Summation Method
1) Enter running kW for all motor loads (except the largest) expected to run during peak load
levels into table 6. Refer to table 1 for typical motor load sizes and electrical require­ments.
2) Enter kW for all non-motor loads expected to run during peak load levels into table 7. Refer to table 2 for typical residential loads and rules of thumb.
3) Add the running motor load kW, non-motor load kW, and the starting kW of the largest motor load.
Motor load running total (minus largest motor): _______________ kW (ref. table 8) Non-motor load total: _______________ kW (ref. table 9) Starting load from largest cycling motor: _______________ kW (ref. table 8) Total electrical loads: = _________ _____ kW
Select generator: Commercial (add 20 to 25% to total kW) Residential (add 10 to 20% to total kW)
4) Conrm that voltage dip is within acceptable limits by comparing motor LRA to generator surge
capability (see table #3).
5) Conrm UPS compatibility (see page 6).
System Capacity – Load Calculation
If the local municipality or state you are in has adopted the 2011 NEC Code, you may be
required to use this step. Article 702 of the 2011 NEC includes a new requirement for sizing (702.4). If no other method for sizing is acceptable, sizing of the generator shall be made in accordance with Article 220 of the NEC. The system capacity estimating sheet will guide you through this process.
PMM Load Control Module 702.4 (B) (2) (a) NEC 2011
The PMM Load Control Module is a 50 amp contact housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure

• 40% of nameplate rating if 4 or more separately controlled units
Electric Thermal Storage (or system where the load is expected to be 220.82 (C) (6) continuous at nameplate rating
• 100% of nameplate rating
• Systems of this type cannot be calculated under any other section of 220.82 (C).
LOAD CALCULATIONS
General Lighting Load 3VAxft
• Small Appliance & Laundry Circuits + 1500 VA per circuit
• General Appliances & Motors (1 00% rated load) + Total general appliances
• Sum of all General Loads = Total General Load (VA)
APPLY DEMAND FACTORS
- First 10 kVA@ 100% = 10,000 VA
- Remainder of General Loads @ 40% (Total VA -10,000) x .40 = Calculated General Load (VA)
2
• HEAT I A-C LOAD@ 100% Largest Heat or A-Q Load (VA) = TOTAL CALCULATED LOAD
Converting VA TO kW (Single-phase applications with 1.0 power factor only) 1 kVA = 1 kW
