Best Answer

it depends on the voltage source being offered by the generator.

watts / volts = amps

If the generator is providing 120V, it is capable of pushing 125 Amps.

If the generator is providing 240V, it is capable of pushing 62.5 Amps.

None. A transformer does not generate electricity, it transforms it. Equations for transforming:

KVA (three phase) = 1250kVA = V(line to line) * I * sqrt(3)

KVA (single phase) = 1250kVA = V (line to neutral) * I

This will give "full load amperage". Transformers sometimes can be overloaded, but you'd need to look at the transformer spec's to know by home much and for how long.

A generator does not "put out" amps. Amps are the power consumption of whatever is using the electricity. A 5 kw generator can handle up to 41 amps, but not continuous. It can handle a continuous load of about 33 amps. Amps = Watts/Volts, 5000/120 = 41.66, 41.66 at 80%=33.3.

A 1250-kV.A transformer should be able to supply a 1250-kV.A load permanently, or a greater load for short periods of time.

And note that the symbol for kilovolt amperes is 'kV.A', not 'kva'.

Watts = Amps x Volts

Amps = Watts / Volts

Amps = 12000 / 120 or 12000 / 240 depending on voltage supplied.

All generators/power sources, unless specified, should produce the regular 13amps.. All different gadgets use different amps though.
