    This document provides information for sizing gensets based on load requirements. It discusses factors to consider such as load types, ambient conditions, transient response to voltage dips, harmonic content, and starting methods for electrical motors. The summary recommends: 1) Defining electrical data and application, 2) Considering ambient conditions, 3) Determining customer load requirements including future needs, 4) Performing a detailed load analysis of steps and types, and 5) Using a sizing program to assess the final load. Key factors include load demand, voltage dips, limiting harmonic loads, and allowing for genset starting time.
