| Generator Type | Typical kVA Range | Best Use Case | Approx. Fuel Use/Hour* | Typical Rental Duration |

How to choose the right generator size (kVA guide)
Choosing the wrong generator size is one of the most common and costly mistakes in temporary power planning — too small and equipment underperforms or shuts down, too large and you’re paying for capacity you don’t need.
Calculating your power requirement
Start by listing every piece of equipment that will draw power on site, along with its wattage. Add these together, then factor in the startup surge some equipment requires — motors and compressors, for example, often need more power to start than to run. Our team can help you convert this into the correct kVA rating so you’re neither under- nor over-sized.
Fuel Consumption & Runtime by Generator Size
Larger generators consume more fuel per hour but are typically more efficient per kVA delivered when running near their rated capacity. We can advise on expected runtime and fuel planning based on your operating hours.
Generator Size Chart by Application
- Residential / small site — 10–30 kVA
- Small events / retail — 30–100 kVA
- Construction sites — 100–500 kVA
- Industrial / manufacturing — 500–2000 kVA
Common sizing mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring startup/surge load of motors and heavy machinery
- Renting based on total power without accounting for peak demand
- Underestimating future load if the project scales up
- Choosing a unit on price alone rather than actual requirement

Why Diesel Generators Are the Preferred Rental Choice in UAE
Fuel Efficiency & Reliability
Diesel engines are known for consistent performance under continuous load, making them well suited to long site hours and heavy-duty applications.
Suited to UAE's climate
Diesel generators are built to handle high temperatures and demanding outdoor conditions common across UAE construction and industrial sites.
Lower operating costs
Diesel typically offers better fuel economy per kVA compared to petrol alternatives, particularly for larger, longer-running loads.
Eco-friendly options (Stage V)
For projects with environmental compliance requirements, we offer lower-emission diesel generator options built to modern Stage V engine standards.
