This page is written for buyers who are comparing small generator options and need a specification-based WhatsApp quotation, not a vague price.
10kW and 12.5kVA are often compared
Many buyers search for 10kW generator price, while generator suppliers often quote in kVA. If the power factor is 0.8, 10kW is about 12.5kVA. This is why a supplier may recommend a 10kVA to 15kVA range after checking the load.
Do not choose only by the nameplate number. Air conditioners, pumps, refrigerators and small motors can need higher starting current than their normal running load.
What affects a 10kW generator quotation
A small generator quote can change quickly when the buyer changes fuel type, canopy, alternator, sockets, controller or delivery term.
