What does it say in the AVR's manual, the 2.5 kVA generator's manual and the 3kVA generator's manual, Boss? Did you ring the manufacturers? What did they say? Why would you disregard them in favour of what someone disguised as a French Policeman would say?

I do not think it is a good idea to put 5000 watt load on a 2500 or 3000 watt

generator. Perhaps you meant a 500 watt load.

First, can you tell us what is the "difference between power factor, load factor and diversity factor". You must also, "state mathematical expressions please."

These were your first questions here and I'm curious if you got an answer. If yes, why, and if no, why?

AVR is an equipment with it's own something wattage that must be very low indeed. More specific is that your load must not be increased more than the generator capacity. You can go forward for using the 5k stabilizer.
