Una taa ngapi? taa ya kawaida ni watts 40, kwa hiyo kama una taa 10--400watts
Friji yaako inatumia umeme kiasi gani? nyingine ni 500watts
Je una pasi? 1000watts
Jiko la plate ngapi? kama ni mbili kila moja 1000watts 2000watts
TV na radio zina matumizi madogo, kama 300watts
Hivyo basi jumla ya matumizi 4200watts
Hivyo basi unashauriwa kununua jenereta kubwa kidogo kuliko matumizi yako ya karibu 5000-6000watts(au 5-6Kva) single Phase

Just to add..
Kwa kawaida Tanesco wanafanya rating kwa wateja wa nyumba za kuishi yani Domestic Customers kuwa 3kW. Hii mara nyingi inakuwa ni single phase.

Kwa wewe unaehitaji Generator ningependa kujua application zako ziko vipi? Je ni continuous load au utakuwa unaitumia intemittently kama standby unit?

Kwa mahesabu ya hapo juu ni dhahiri kwamba unaweza kuchagua generator yoyote kwenye range ya 4-6kVA. Meaning with 4kVA utakuwa unaitumia hii Generator at almost 95% of its capacity ila for future expansion i advise ujaribu kuchukua 6kVA.

The most important thing in buying these machines is the spareparts/after market support. Be sure of these issues when you buy any machine even cars cos the core business of any supplier of machines is not in the price of the machine but rather in the service and spareparts they sell after you buy the unit. Also things like warranty should be clear.

I hope you got at least somewhere to start. If you have any queries you are welcome, you can PM or just add a post!!

Mwenye swali au ufafanuzi kuhusu masuala haya ya umeme aniulize.

kwa nini solar ni gharama....

kwa matumizi ya taa na fridge anaweza akatumia solar through out the year
alafu akatafu generator ndogo kwa ajili ya jiko, pasi

Natanguliza shukrani.

Here is the complete guide to the approximate load that each of these devices requires. For diesel engine generators & backup power to be effective, proper generator sizing is essential.Appliance
