Generators under 100 kW serve residential, small office, retail, and light-commercial standby loads. The category spans residential air-cooled and liquid-cooled gas units, light commercial gas, and small portable diesels. Sizing is typically driven by the largest motor start (HVAC compressor, well pump, elevator) plus continuous panel load. Most units in this class accept 100–200 A automatic transfer switches.
