What a 100 kVA Generator Powers
A 100 kVA set gives you around 80 kW of continuous usable load. Realistic uses:
- Mid-size construction site — site offices, hoists, welding sets, power tools and floodlighting running together
- Small commercial building on backup — lighting, lifts, essential HVAC and IT for a few floors during an outage
- Medium event or exhibition — stage lighting, AV, catering equipment and cooling for a mid-size setup
- Retail or showroom standby — keeps a store fully operational through a grid cut
- Workshop or small factory — several machines, compressors and lighting on one supply
If your total load is above roughly 70 kW, step up to a 150 kVA set — or for large industrial jobs, a 500 kVA generator or other heavy duty generator is the better fit. If you’re well under 50 kW, a smaller portable unit will cut your fuel and generator rental cost — talk to our team.

100 kVA Generator Fuel Consumption
Fuel is usually the biggest cost on a rental, so plan around it. Approximate diesel use for a 100 kVA set by load:
| Load | Power drawn | Fuel use |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | 20 kW | ~7 litres/hour |
| 50% | 40 kW | ~12 litres/hour |
| 75% | 60 kW | ~17 litres/hour |
| 100% | 80 kW | ~22 litres/hour |
Most sites run near 50% load, so expect roughly 12 litres/hour — around 288 litres on a 24-hour day. Standard units carry a 200-litre base tank; larger external tanks are available for longer runtime. We quote fuel as a separate line item, so there are no billing surprises.
Dimensions, Weight & Site Placement
Know the footprint before delivery day so the unit fits and can be placed safely:
| Specification | Silent (canopied) | Open-frame |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 2.4 m | 1.9 m |
| Width | 0.86 m | 0.74 m |
| Height | 1.57 m | 1.56 m |
| Weight | ~1,600 kg | ~1,150 kg |
Placement requirements:
- Firm, level ground able to take ~1.6 tonnes
- Delivered by hiab/crane truck — needs clear access for offloading
- Clearance around the unit for airflow and exhaust dispersal
- Silent canopy runs at ~76 dB at 7 m — suitable for events, hotels and occupied buildings
What’s Included With Every 100 kVA Rental
Every unit arrives ready to run:
- Diesel tank
- Distribution board
- Manual or automatic changeover switch
- Cables and cable ramps
- Delivery, installation and on-site testing
- 24/7 support for the rental period
Cable and breaker sizing is handled by our technicians on-site — a 100 kVA set typically pairs with a 160A–200A main breaker, sized to your actual load and cable run.

Silent vs. Open-Frame 100 kVA
- Silent / acoustic — our fully enclosed silent generator runs at ~76 dB at 7 m, for events, hospitals, hotels and residential-adjacent sites
- Open-frame — lower cost, faster to deploy, best for open construction sites and industrial yards
Both available for immediate hire across the UAE.
