A 200 kVA generator delivers approximately 160 kW of usable power — enough to run a shopping centre wing or hospital block with central plant. At 75% load it consumes roughly 35 litres of diesel per hour. In South Africa a 200 kVA silent diesel generator typically costs between R320 000 and R410 000 excluding VAT and installation.

Is 200 kVA the right size?
Two hundred kVA serves centre wings and hospital blocks. Parallel smaller sets can improve redundancy — ask if N+1 matters more than a single large machine.
