Note my corrections above. I don't understand the underlined sections at all. I don't know what "kva", "volvo", "cummins" or "perkinz" are so I don't know if they should be capitalised.

kva is kilovolt-amperes, a unit of measurement.

The other words are the names of manufacturers of generators. Each should begin with a capital letter,, and the third should be Perkins.

Cummins, Volvo and Perkins are all manufacturers of diesel engines, and those are commonly used to power electricity generators.

Say: three generators.

I don't know what you mean by "blocks". Do you mean "buildings"? (I don't think so.)

Why do you say "500 amps" in one place and "250 amps" in another?

Don't they get their electricity from the power company?

You said it right after you said you don't know how to say it.

I still don't know you use "500 amps" in one place and "250 amps" in another place, but presumably the recipient of the email will know what you mean.

@Joj, we have come to understand that you often use pv as a abbreviation for photovoltaic, but you should be aware that it is not a standard English abbreviation. For clear communication you'd be better off writing out "photovoltaic" in full.

I know what a bungalow is, but I don't know what "room of services" means. In any case, I goofed. I should have said you said it right before you said you don't know how to say it.

Perhaps you mean, "In service rooms (such as the kitchen), the "full load of electricity" is 250 amps.

(I've used "full load of electricity" from post #1 because I still don't know what it means. Do you mean the maximum load, or maybe the maximum/required supply?)
