For hospitals and factories in Nigeria, start with the load list and critical equipment. Confirm ATS, voltage, starting current, installation environment, noise requirement and documents before comparing price.
Start with critical load and starting current
A hospital generator or factory generator should not be selected only by building size. The buyer should list critical equipment, running load and motor starting current. This helps avoid undersized generators and unstable voltage during operation.
| Project | Critical load examples | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Hospital | Medical equipment, lighting, refrigeration, pumps, elevators | ATS and emergency standby readiness are important. |
| Factory | Production machines, motors, compressors, lighting | Starting current and long working hours must be checked. |
| Hotel | Air conditioning, elevators, kitchen, lighting | Noise level and silent canopy design matter. |
| Construction site | Tools, pumps, welding, site offices | Open or trailer type may be practical. |
Hospital generator buying notes
Hospital backup power needs fast response and stable output. Buyers should confirm ATS, controller protection, voltage stability, fuel tank, noise level and spare parts. A silent canopy is often preferred when the generator is close to patient areas.
- Confirm emergency load and non-critical load separately.
- Use ATS when automatic transfer is required.
- Request test report and finished generator photos.
- Prepare spare filters, belts, battery and controller support if needed.
Factory generator buying notes
Factory generator selection depends heavily on motor starting current and working hours. A 200kVA generator may be enough for one factory but not another if machines start together. Always provide the equipment list when requesting quotation.
Large motors need extra starting capacity or soft starter planning.
Radiator capacity matters in hot or dusty environments.
Generator room, outdoor silent canopy or container type affects design.
Keep access space for oil, filters, battery and controller checks.
Documents and proof for project buyers
Project buyers should request complete proof before shipment: finished generator photos, test report, packing photos, loading photos, invoice and packing list. This makes it easier to show the project owner that the order is real and ready.

Ask on WhatsAppFrequently asked questions
What size generator does a hospital need?
It depends on the critical load list. Send medical equipment, lighting, pump and emergency load details for a better recommendation.
Does a hospital generator need ATS?
Usually yes when automatic transfer during grid failure is required.
What size generator does a factory need?
It depends on machine load and motor starting current. A load list is more useful than only the building size.
Can you quote Cummins, Perkins or Yuchai for projects?
Yes. Engine options can be compared according to required kVA, budget and project requirement.
