Hi,
Is there a thumb rule that an emergency diesel generator can absorb real power that is certain percentage of its capacity. for example: 10 % of total rated capacity. We have this 1600 KW, 4160 V generator for mine hoisting application.
The manufcturer told me that new generators being turbo in nature and have low inertia and cannot handle much. But looks like he was a novice and did not know much.
We are trying to justify the use of load banks if this generator cannot absorb completely.
One last point:
IF any body can advise, where in US or Canada , a company that sells USED power transformers in range of 7-10 MVA 44 KV/13.8 KV.
Regards,
