Only if it has it's own Power factor correction unit, Still a perfect power factor of 1 is hard to achieved. Common power factors are about 0.75 (it's like being 75% efficient, put in simple terms)
Which is a little difficult, still the motor would be running at its limit.
If this is to happen for short supervised conditions it could, but it would turn out to be unreliable if run continuously.

What size gas engine to run 35 kw generator?
At 746 watts per horsepower (electric) a 35 kw generator would require about 470 horsepower. Round that up, and allowing for control loop margin and mechanical losses, I would guess that a 35 kw generator should need a 500 or 600 horsepower engine.
Which is to consider in sizing generator kva or kw ratins?
the unit of generators power is KVA becoze the kva is the power that contain the active power (KW) and the reactive power mean that the name plate of any generator must contain the rated kva of it (like the transformer P (KW) = P (kva) * cos fi P (KW) = V I cos fi for single phase P (KVA) = V I when cos fi closed to 1 this will increase the useful power that exit from the generator or transformer with my pleasure
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator do you load it to the kW or the kVA?
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.
Can a 400 kw generator handle a 460 kw load?
Since the breaker that is installed on the generator set will be sized to the output of the 30 kW generator, the load will stay connected until the thermal trip of the breaker trips the load off line. This will be in the matter of seconds before it happens. To handle a 75 kW load and depending if it is an inductive or a resistive load you will need at least a 80 to 100 kW generator.
What causes generators in parallel with same voltages and KW to have different amps?
If they are at the same voltage, and the same kW, the only thing left that will influence the output amperage is the power factor the generator is running at.

What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.
How much horse power does a Toro t2500 generator have?
About 8hp (5 kW).

What is Diesel Generator consumption per kilowatt hour?
300 kw power generate and fuel consumption
Why generating station capacity mentioned in KW even though alternator rating is in KVA?
In generator station the power which produced is real power the real power to me mentioned in its's factor so it is mentioned as KW or MW. In transformer there is no effect of change the power factor (ie:cos,phi) and the power which transfer do not changes its frequency. so, in Transformer and generator it is mentioned as KVA.
When using an external resistive load bank to test an engine driven generator do you load it to kVA or KW?
It does not matter, when testing a generator with a resistive load bank, if you load it to kVA or KW. For a resitive load, i.e. non-reactive load, the power factor is one, so kVA and kW are the same.
Can I use a gas generator in my home, if so what size should I buy?
Anyone can use a gas power generator at home. However, you must figure out what your needs are for a generator. Different ranges of power usage will require different kinds of power outputs. If you aim at using a power generator for a few things, you might be interested in a small power generator. If you aim at powering an entire home, you'd want a power generator of at least 30 kW.
How many kw generator is good for 1.5 ton air condition?
5.274 KW

How many gallons does a generator use per hour?
Depends upon the Kw rating of the generator. The higher the Kw rating the more fuel will be used.
