Questions
How long does a 150 kW generator run on a tank?
About 22 hours at three-quarters load on its roughly 220-gallon tank (10 gallons an hour). At a lighter load it runs longer. For around-the-clock use we add refills or an external tank.
What does it take to tow a 150 kW generator?
It weighs about 10,000 lb with fuel and trailer — a 1-ton dually or a medium truck. Most customers have it delivered; billing includes delivery and pickup.
Single-phase or three-phase?
Three-phase: 208 V (about 520 A) or 480 V (about 225 A). Your electrician sets it to match your service.
How much is a 150 kW generator rental?
From $750 a day, $2,200 a week or $5,200 for 4 weeks on one shift, plus delivery and fuel. You get one all-in price before you commit.
