[QUOTE="Adrian41uk, post: 338921, member: 3000"] Think you may have overlooked something here ..... Your genny is 6kVA so is capable of delivering around 6000/230 = 26A at full load..... but you are only connecting it to your distribution system using a 16A connector so you can only access 16 * 230 = 3680 VA ...... in effect your design only allows you to access 3680/6000 = 61% of the generators capacity.....
