100 kVA ≈ 88 kVA here
Lubumbashi stands 1,260 m up — 5th lowest of 8 of the 8 DR Congo cities we cover, on plateau ground. Thinner air means less oxygen per stroke, so 1,260 m costs 9.6% of rated output.
Practically: 100 kVA on the plate is about 88 kVA in Lubumbashi. Size from the plate and the set runs at its limit from day one, glazing bores and wet-stacking. At 1,260 m a turbocharged engine recovers most of that 9.6% and is usually worth the difference.
16.4 °C to 27 °C. A 10.6 °C cycle is enough to loosen connections within a year or two in Lubumbashi. The intermittent faults that follow get misread as controller trouble; they are almost always a terminal needing re-torquing.
Lubumbashi is roughly 1552 km south-west of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. At 1552 km, mobilisation is a real line in any Lubumbashi quotation, and a machine waiting on a travelling part waits days, not hours. Hold a critical kit on site — filters, belts, an AVR, injectors — rather than ordering per failure.
Elevation: Open-Meteo Geocoding API (GeoNames elevation), retrieved 2026-08-26. Temperature: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2025 daily maxima and minima. Derate figures are planning estimates using standard corrections (approximately 1% per 100 m above 300 m; 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); final sizing follows the engine manufacturer’s own derate tables for the set proposed.
We supply and install heavy-duty generators for factories, hospitals, and data centers in Lubumbashi.
