Yes, a well pump can be wired to a generator but to find out how well it will operate the pump's voltage and full load amperage must be stated.

Can you run a 30 amp pump on a 7500 watt generator?
To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated.
How would you make a patch cord to go from a 220V 30-amp 4-wire generator to run a 220V 20-amp 3-wire portable compressor?
Identify the neutral wire on the generator. This will be the unused conductor to run the compressor. The ground and line1, line 2 are all that are needed.
What size wire for 50 amp 3 wire pump 350 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
Usually 30 Amp 240 volts, but there will be a spec on the well pump.
Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
What if my generator sends 120 volts and 65 amps into my 200 amp panel box will it run my well pump connected to a 20 amp 240 volt circuit?
No, the generator must output 220 volts which any generator I have ever seen does.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.

What size breaker does it take to run a outdoor well?
Normally AWG #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker but it really depends on the size of the pump. The pump manufacture will specify the size wire and size breaker needed.
What size wire for 50 amp 3 wire pump 350 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated
Gauge wire needed for 8 amp sump pump?
you will need wiring that is at least 10 amp rated wire or higher. If you really needed to ask you might want to call an electrician Electrician here, be the pump 120 volts or 240 volts a #14 wire will handle the situation. Longer runs of 75 feet you should go to a #12 wire to compensate for voltage drop. The pump should be on its own separate circuit with a 15 amp breaker. A two pole 15 amp breaker if the pump is 240 volts.
What size wire do you use to install a 40 amp breaker for a 2amp pool pump?
I think you mean 2 HP pump. I am assuming a 220 To 240 volt supply and that should equate to about a 12 amp current. All my pumps use only a 30 amp breaker and 10 AWG wire.
You bought a rheem heat pump what gauge wire should you use for a 80amp breaker?
My heat pump was professionally wired when built in 2004. Wire is No. 4 AWG with 80 amp breaker
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
Usually 30 Amp 240 volts, but there will be a spec on the well pump.
What size generator to power 220 volt three quarter horsepower well pump?
Answer Generators usually always go by watts. To figure this all you do is take(volts x Amps) = watts. You know the volts (220) then look on the pump for the amp rating and then multiply them and you will have your watts. Then get a generator that is rated for this amount for continuos operation not peak watts. Hope this helps.
I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?
Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...
