A factory generator is a system purchase. Generator rating, motor starting, transfer equipment, ventilation, fuel system and delivery scope must be checked together.
Prepare the factory load schedule first
Record the running kW or kVA of production lines, pumps, compressors, chillers, conveyors and site services. Identify the largest motor and its starting method. Equipment that starts together can require much more generator capacity than the normal running total.
Also confirm whether the set is emergency standby or expected to run for long periods as prime power. Allow a documented margin for future expansion, but avoid excessive oversizing that can lead to inefficient low-load operation.
Which industrial generator range should be reviewed?
| Initial range | Typical review | Important checks |
|---|---|---|
| 100-300kVA | Small production sites and essential factory loads | Motor starts, ATS rating and expansion margin |
| 300-500kVA | Medium production and mixed industrial loads | Load sequence, canopy or generator room and runtime |
| 500-2000kVA | Large plants, critical buses and heavy project loads | Synchronizing, redundancy, cooling, fuel and protection |
These are enquiry ranges, not final sizing results. The selected model must be checked against the actual load schedule and engine-alternator data.
Make supplier quotations comparable
Ask every supplier to state standby or prime rating, engine and alternator model, controller, output breaker, ATS scope, enclosure, voltage and frequency, test documents, packing, warranty handling and shipment term. Compare FOB China and CIF Lagos separately.

Send factory RFQFrequently asked questions
How do I size a generator for a factory in Nigeria?
Use a complete running-load and motor-starting schedule, then confirm duty and expansion margin.
Does a factory generator need an ATS?
Use an ATS when automatic transfer is required, with its current rating and control interface matched to the site.
Can you quote CIF Lagos?
Yes, subject to the selected generator and current shipment details.
