Sized for the starting current, not the nameplate
Manufacturing loads lie: a 30 HP motor draws six times its nameplate at direct-on-line start. Sets sized here are sized for that truth — up to the 30 m stack we engineered for Motherson’s 2000 kVA set.
Where it hurts
Motor inrush trips undersized sets
DOL starting draws 6–7× full-load current. A set sized on running load stalls on the first compressor.
Shutdown windows are short
Annual maintenance shutdowns need temporary power on a schedule that slips for no one.
Exhaust and noise compliance
MIDC neighbours and pollution-board consent conditions make stacks and enclosures part of the machine.
Typical configurations
| Facility type | Typical rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Machine shop / MSME unit | 62.5–160 kVA | Motor mix with DOL starting margins |
| Mid-size plant | 250–750 kVA | Standby or prime, rental during shutdowns |
| Large plant | 1010–2000+ kVA | Turnkey SITC with exhaust and electrical infra |
Served in this sector
Names, not adjectives.
- Motherson — 30 m exhaust stack (2000 kVA set)
- SEDEMAC Mechatronics — 750 kVA rental, 24/7 dual-DG scope
- Siemens — works at Goa and Kalwa
- Supreme Industries — 30 m exhaust stack, Jalgaon
The rental fleet doubles as shutdown insurance for this sector — 750 kVA-class sets deployed for round-the-clock coverage during plant works, as done for SEDEMAC, with the standby clause in writing.

Frequently asked questions
How do you size a genset for motor-heavy loads?
Against starting current, not running load: direct-on-line motors draw six to seven times nameplate at start, so the set (and its alternator) is chosen for the worst starting step with the rest of the plant online. Star-delta and VFD starts change the arithmetic — send the equipment list and we compute it.
Can you provide temporary power for a plant shutdown?
Yes — rental sets up to 1250 kVA with delivery, commissioning, and B-checks included, scheduled to your shutdown window, including 24/7 dual-set coverage of the kind SEDEMAC Mechatronics runs.
Do you build the exhaust and electrical infrastructure too?
Yes — turnkey SITC including stacks to 30 metres (built for Supreme Industries at Jalgaon among others), fuel systems, panels and commissioning, under one contract.
