How much VA in tools do you want to run at one time? Like was said about 2 kVA would allow for a single full loaded 15 amp circuit.

How did you calculate that? 2000 va.....??

Well we don't generally provide a personal SDS for each construction worker on the job.

In most cases we supply a 225 amp 42 circuit panelboard from the 75 KVA and run tempoary 120 and 208 volt branch circuits from there.

Yes. k is for kilo which is 1000.

120V x 15A = 1800va (~2kVA)

HAHA When I was an apprentice I wired a temp 120 outlet 240. The saws screamed and spit fire but not for to long:lol:
