Best Answer

Yes it can if you connect it with an 120v generator. But it depends on how powerful the generator is.

What size generator do you need to run a well pump and a refrigerator-freezer?

Depends on the refrigerator. There should be a sticker on the inside of the fridge that lists the power requirements. Make sure the generator rating is RMS and not peak. You can use a generator wattage calculator to estimate the total wattage you would need to power your "must have" appliances during a power outage. This way you can estimate the generator size (in watts) you would need to power them.

How many watts does a whole house generator use?

The size of a generator is based on what the connected load will be. Add up all of the connected wattages that will be connected to the generator at one time and add ten percent, this will be the size of the generator you will need. Some equipment does not show the wattage on its nameplate. To find the wattage use the following formula Watts = Amps x Volts.

What conditions must be done before a generator can be connected to a 3 phase system?

Assuming the generator is in good condition and designed to be connected to a power grid. A generator can be connected by ensuring the generator is at very nearly the same speed as the grid (typically very slightly faster) and is generating a similar voltage. When the phases of the generator and grid align, the circuit breakers can be closed and the generator will become locked to the grid. If the generator is connected to the grid without being in phase, the difference in phase will allow significant current to flow and in some situations can actually be worse than a direct short circuit. As a result of this power companies use sophisticated equipment to ensure that generators can be safely connected to the grid without damage. Household, camping and most industrial generators are not designed to be synchronised with the grid and should not be connected to a grid system.
