• Many people do not have an awareness of the technical aspects of providing electrical power to a facility. They do not understand how the kilowatt (kW) output of a generator relates to where that generator might be able to be used.
• A generator that has an output of 60 kW can only be used on a facility that has a maximum electrical load of 60 kW. The same thing applies to the output voltage of a generator. If the output voltage on a particular generator is 120/208 Volts (single phase), then that generator can only be used on a facility that has that voltage requirement due to the manner in which that particular facility’s internal electrical distribution system was designed and constructed.
• Just because there may be a staging area that has 20 generators, it doesn’t mean that any 20 facilities can receive those generators. The generators may still be in the staging area because the facilities that are impacted may not be able to use those generators for an electrically technical reason.
