This page is written for buyers who already need a quotation and want to compare specification, delivery term and supplier scope before sending a WhatsApp inquiry.
Why 100kVA is a high-intent buying size
Visitors searching for 100kVA generator price are usually close to procurement. At this size, buyers often need a formal quotation for management approval, project budgeting or supplier comparison.
A 100kVA set may support larger commercial loads than small backup generators, but starting current remains important. Elevators, pumps, compressors and central AC equipment should be reviewed before final selection.
Quote items to compare line by line
The lowest number is not always the best generator quotation. A buyer should compare the same specification and the same delivery term.
| Comparison point | Buyer check |
|---|---|
| Duty rating | Standby backup and prime running are different purchasing assumptions. |
| Engine brand | Cummins, Perkins and selected Chinese engine options can be quoted by requirement. |
| Enclosure | Silent canopy changes cost, shipment profile and site planning. |
| Electrical scope | Breaker, controller, ATS and protections should be written clearly. |
| Logistics | CIF Lagos gives port-based reference. Inland transport and installation are separate unless included. |
When to ask for both FOB and CIF
Ask for both FOB China and CIF Lagos when your buyer team is still deciding whether to use your own forwarder. This makes commercial comparison easier and prevents confusion between factory price and landed port reference.
100kVA diesel generator planning specifications
A 100kVA generator is approximately 80kW at 0.8 power factor, but 80kW should not be treated as a guaranteed usable site load. Motor starting, ambient temperature, altitude, nonlinear loads and the selected prime or standby rating can all affect the final recommendation.
| Planning item | What the quotation should state |
|---|---|
| Rating basis | 100kVA and approximately 80kW at 0.8 power factor, with prime and standby values stated separately. |
| Electrical output | Confirm site voltage, three-phase configuration, frequency, breaker and neutral arrangement. |
| Engine platform | Name the exact engine model rather than listing only Cummins, Perkins or a Chinese engine brand. |
| Alternator and controller | Identify the alternator, controller, protections, battery charger and communication options included. |
| Enclosure and ATS | State open or silent type, canopy treatment, ATS rating and whether site cabling is excluded. |
| Commercial term | Separate generator price, optional equipment and FOB China or CIF Lagos delivery scope. |
Should you buy 100kVA, 250kVA or 500kVA?
Use the kW conversion only as a first planning step. The final size must be checked against running load, motor starting current, duty and reserve margin.
| Generator range | Planning conversion at 0.8 power factor | Typical buying situation |
|---|---|---|
| 100kVA | Approximately 80kW | Hotels, schools, offices, shops and medium commercial backup after load review. |
| 250kVA price guide | Approximately 200kW | Estates, cold rooms, workshops and medium production sites with larger starting loads. |
| 500kVA price guide | Approximately 400kW | Large factories, hospitals, malls and projects requiring a detailed load schedule. |

FAQ
Can you quote a Cummins or Perkins 100kVA generator?
Yes. Send engine preference, duty and delivery basis so the quotation can match the required scope.
Does CIF Lagos include installation?
No, not automatically. CIF Lagos usually refers to port-based shipping scope, while clearance, inland delivery and installation should be confirmed separately.
What should I send for the fastest price?
Send application, load list, voltage, duty, canopy preference, ATS need, quantity and delivery term.
Do you have 100kVA stock in Nigeria?
Local stock is not promised on this page. Current factory availability, production status and shipping basis are confirmed in the written quotation.
