Compare exact outputs

Options around 20 kVA.

A rounded PPG model class is not a guaranteed duty rating. The tables below identify the actual documented output for each reference configuration.

Compact backup loads

Specify 20 kVA around your load.

At this scale, confirm whether the supply must be single or three phase. Pumps, compressors and refrigeration can have starting requirements well above their running load.

At a power factor of 0.8, 20 kVA corresponds to 16 kW mathematically. That conversion is not a substitute for the manufacturer’s duty rating or a starting-load assessment.

Discuss your load schedule
Does a 20 kVA model deliver 20 kVA continuously?

The model class alone does not establish continuous capability. Check prime and standby ratings and the manufacturer’s load-profile conditions. Confirm the intended run hours and average load when requesting a quotation.

Can I get a canopied 20 kVA generator?

Compare the canopied entries above, then confirm enclosure dimensions, sound requirements and final duty rating with PPG.

Which engine brands are available at this output?

The comparison above includes Baudouin, Perkins. Some are close alternatives rather than an exact match; use the electrical rating table to compare them.
