Instantaneous POWER in Watts (Volt x Amps) and ENERGY (Volts x Amps x Time) IE Killowatt Hours KWH like the utility charges you to compute the size of the genset.
It needs to be POWER RATED large enough to supply YOUR MAXIMUM load in Watts, plus I add an extra 20 to 25 percent. Be cautious of Max Power or Surge Capacity or Continuous Power Ratings in your selection !!!!!!! Don't operate too small or just on the edge is my advice, IE Max PLUS 20% minimum Id use.
SECOND the voltage needs to match, is the barn supplied (and do you require) with true 120/240 Volt Single Phase Three Wire ??? or is it 120 VAC Only ???
THIRD what sort of Transfer Switch/Method are you going to use, manual or automatic, does it switch Hots and Neutral or Hots only ??? Plug/Receptacle and Cord connected or how??? SAFETY !!!! so no way to back feed and energize the Grid when on genset Power !!!!!!
FOURTH Grounding and Bonding, and switching/transfer methods, that determines if the Genset should be configured with a BONDED or a FLOATING Neutral and the requirements for a Grounding Electrode....
THAT ALL BEING SAID only you can compute the size as based on YOUR load NOT OUR GUESSES OR THE SIZE WE USE
AFTER YOU determine the max load and size you need, Billy Shafer is the EXPERT and Go To Guy regarding gensets, and then I can help you with all the other issues noted above
Best wishes Jim, I will be in your fine State over Thanksgiving Lord willing

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
