There is no responsible fixed price for an undefined generator package. The final written quotation must identify rating, engine, alternator, controller, enclosure, ATS scope, quantity and delivery term.
10-30kVA Diesel Generators for Nigeria overview
The 10-30kVA range is usually considered when a buyer needs more dependable backup than a small portable generator but does not need a large industrial set. It can suit shops, offices, clinics, villas, pharmacies, small farms and light commercial premises.
A useful quotation should confirm the real running load, the largest motor or air conditioner, daily operating hours, fuel preference, voltage, phase, enclosure and starting method. These details determine whether a compact silent diesel set is suitable or whether the project needs a larger commercial range.
Reference generator configurations
| Model | Prime rating | Standby rating | Engine options | Typical output | Enclosure | Example use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NGS-10 | 10kW / 12.5kVA | 11kW / 14kVA | Perkins or selected Chinese engine | 220/380V, 50Hz | Silent canopy | Shop, office, villa |
| NGS-20 | 20kW / 25kVA | 22kW / 28kVA | Yangdong or Ricardo option | 220/380V, 50Hz | Silent canopy | Small business backup |
| NGS-30 | 30kW / 37.5kVA | 33kW / 41kVA | Cummins or Weichai option | 220/380V, 50Hz | Silent or open | Clinic, farm, light load |
Reference configurations are for RFQ planning only. Final engine model, alternator, controller, fuel tank, dimensions, weight, noise data and electrical output must be confirmed in the signed technical quotation.
Where this power range may be considered
| Application | What must be checked |
|---|---|
| Retail shop or pharmacy | Lighting, POS systems, refrigerators, small air conditioners and security equipment. |
| Clinic or small office | Essential lighting, computers, selected medical equipment and controlled air-conditioning loads. |
| Villa or home business | Essential circuits selected from pumps, refrigerators, lighting, sockets and air conditioners. |
| Small farm | Light pumps, feed equipment, lighting and workshop tools after motor-starting demand is checked. |
Application names are not a substitute for load calculation. Send equipment ratings and starting methods so the generator can be matched to the actual project.
What changes the quotation
| Decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Single or three phase | Confirm the actual load distribution and required output voltage before production. |
| Silent canopy | Useful for shops, offices and residential compounds where noise control matters. |
| ATS requirement | Automatic mains failure operation needs a matched transfer panel and control wiring. |
| Motor starting | Pumps, compressors and air conditioners may require more starting capacity than their running watts suggest. |
Documents and proof to confirm before payment
Ask for a model-specific proforma invoice, technical data sheet, production schedule and written commercial scope. Depending on the confirmed order, buyers can also request finished-unit photos, load-test evidence, packing information and shipping documents. Customs clearance, inland delivery, installation and commissioning are included only when explicitly written into the quotation.
Nigeria Generator Supply is a China-based factory-direct supply website. It does not claim a Nigerian local warehouse or local service office. Buyers should confirm warranty handling, spare-parts scope, delivery responsibility and the legal supplier identity before payment.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 10kW generator the same as 10kVA?
No. kW is real power and kVA is apparent power. At a 0.8 power factor, 10kW is commonly expressed as about 12.5kVA, but the final selection must also consider starting loads.
Can a 10-30kVA generator include ATS?
Yes. ATS can be quoted, but the incoming mains, phase, current rating and installation scope must be confirmed.
Can you quote compact generators by CIF Lagos?
Yes. The generator configuration, quantity, packing and shipment basis should be confirmed before a CIF Lagos quotation is prepared.
