The Maxmech RFS-15000E Electric Start Generator is a very high-capacity petrol generator from Maxmech, designed for substantial power demands. Its “E” designation confirms it comes with the convenience of an electric start system.
11.9 KVA (KiloVolt-Amperes): This is the apparent power or maximum output the generator can produce. It’s especially relevant for the generator’s surge capacity – the extra power it can briefly provide to start motor-driven appliances (like large air conditioners, commercial refrigerators, or heavy industrial tools) which draw significantly more power at startup.
9.5 KW (Kilowatts): This is the rated power or continuous running power (also known as “real power” or “usable power”). This is the amount of power the generator can reliably supply over extended periods to run your appliances without being overloaded.
Power Factor: The relationship between KW and KVA (9.5 KW / 11.9 KVA) indicates a power factor of approximately 0.8. This is a common and efficient power factor for portable generators.
What this means for you: When calculating your power needs, always focus on the 9.5 KW figure for your continuous electrical loads. The 11.9 KVA indicates its robust capability to handle the initial high power demands of starting larger inductive loads.
