Our emergency generator now is a 20KW diesel. The UPS's like that one

I've wondered sometimes if it's not about how many Watts it could make,

Some UPS don't care for an unregulated AC. Either run your current

latter would be my choice and is what I use. Way back in the day I had

Ken's answer of "use an inverter generator" is probably the simplest
thing. You'll have way fewer problems than with any other portable
generator. Also "dramatically oversize the generator" would be a good
solution too.
Half the windings on the generator give you a 110v phase. The other

I might be a weirdo, but I figure a 50amp subpanel is 12kva, so I got a
16kva generator for the 50 amp sub-panel fed by a 50 amp breaker from
the main panel.
The reason for the generator being bigger than the sub-panel is that you
can't put 12kva on the 12kva generator unless you perfectly
Thanks for the responses.
So looks like just a basic avr generator will be fine as long as it’s sized
correctly
Thanks again

This is what I do, 5-6kva generator per 2200va UPS. There are two
generators and two UPS in my case.
I'm not worried about cooling since there's not enough output (the size is
mostly for large battery capacity). It's in the bottom middle of the
building, the heat just rises right out.

I would get the one larger than you need with an automatic transfer switch. I
have had ok luck with geneac units. You want it large enough to be able to
start the hvac system,

You don't need an inverter generator but you may need to adjust the
sensitivity in the
UPS. Our Tripplites work fine but APC needs to be adjusted.
