Fuel Consumption Formula for DG Set
This calculator estimates fuel usage of a diesel generator (DG set) based on power capacity, load percentage, and operating time.
- Conversion: 1 kVA ≈ 0.8 kW (assuming 0.8 power factor)
- Fuel Consumption Rate: 0.27 L/kWh (typical value for diesel generators)
- Formula: Fuel/hr = Load (kW) × 0.27 L/kWh
- Total Fuel: Fuel/hr × Hours per day × Days
- This is a general estimate. Actual usage may vary based on generator age, maintenance, and efficiency.
