Standby generators regularly run in the 30% region. They are sized for in rush current.

Gen size = voltage * inrush current(s) * (100 - allowable voltage say in %).

Typical allowable voltage sag is 20-30% depending on the device.

In rush is 3-5 times the operating current, unless you use a soft starter or VFD.
