Question:

Minimum load for a kohler generator?

I just purchased a KOHLER generator 500 KVA would it be safe to run at 10 % load for 6-8 hours

Answer:

500 kva is a big generator and I am guessing it is diesel. It is safe to run at 10% load however it is not good for the engine itself to make a practice of that. It can lead to lower cylinder temperatures and incomplete combustion over time. It is always better to run at or as close to max load as you can.
