A load calculation report is required by inspectors when a standby generator is installed.  Unless performing a select circuits install, you either put in a generator that matches the kW number on the load report (or larger) or you load shed circuits to get you into a smaller generator.  This gives you the ability to run everything in the house, just not simultaneously.  By the way, I've never put a generator smaller than 24kW on a total electric house. I'm usually at 26kW or larger and still have at least one or two load shed modules.</p></blockquote><p></p>
