Is it possible to extend the service of a 3 phase generator rated at eleven KVA and 8000 Amperes 150 to 200 meters down line with power cables?

Yes, provided the power cables are correctly selected. The starting point for the calculation requires the voltage to be known.

Yes, it is possible to extend the service of a 3-phase generator with power cables. However, the length and gauge of the cables need to be considered to ensure there is no significant voltage drop over the distance. It is recommended to consult with an electrician or engineer to determine the appropriate cable size for the desired length.

Why use of capacitors to correct pf?
Power-factor improvement capacitors are connected in parallel with the load, and are rated in reactive volt amperes. If their reactive volt amperes are identical with the reactive volt amperes of the reactive component of the load, then they act to cancel each other, and bring the phase angle to zero (i.e. the load current becomes in phase with the supply voltage). This reduces the value of the load current without affecting the operation of the load, and allows cables and switchgear with lower current ratings to be used than would otherwise be necessary.
Can Aluminum mylar-tape-shielded cables be used instead of Copper braid-shielded cables for instrumentation cables?
Actually, aluminum mylar tape shielded cables are better than copper braid shielded cables for instrumentation cables.
Can you trefoil same phase cables?
can do trefoil to the same phase cables
What is the Watts of A generator rated at 220 Volts and 6Kva and what is Kva?
A 6kVA generator puts out 4.8kW (4800 watts) with a power factor of 0.8 Formula w (watts) x pf (power factor) = VA (volt amps) This generator will be able to draw a load of 20A (amps) 6kVA = 6000VA. Where watts is only a measurement of "real power" used (eg: Heater element) VA is a measurement of total current that will flow through a circut. (eg: capacitor) A capacitor does not use power (kW) but current does flow in a circut where capacitor is connected. kVA ratings would be used to size cables.
When was British Approvals Service for Cables created?
British Approvals Service for Cables was created in 1971.
Polarizing a generator on a sportster?
Remove all cables from the generator. Connect battery's + (plus) to the generator's A and then connect battery's - (minus) to the generator's F (field) for a second. Might give a small spark, but that doesn't hurt anybody.

Can I combine 2 110v 15 amp outlets on a generator to power a single 30 amp 110v outlet on my boat?
The short answer, no. The long answer - A 15a 110v current tap can supply approximately 1650 watts. A 30a 110v load would assume a demand of 3300 watts. Splicing multiple cables together to supply this load would be an unsafe practice, as it would be possible for one or the other cables, or receptacles to become overloaded, creating a possible fire hazard. Assuming the generator is rated above that load demand, it would be much safer to add a correctly rated outlet to the generator, and utilize a properly rated cord for connection.
How many amperes does a regular wall plug provide?
Usual power supply cables are designed for current up to 16 amperes (considering that voltage is 220V). But since the power is distributed between all your plugs, real maximum value depends upon your electricity distribution scheme.
How do you reset service vehicle soon light?
In most cars, a service vehicle light can be reset by disconnecting the battery cables for one minute. After the cables are reconnected , the light should turn off.
How long can a generator go without being operated before the negative cables should be disconnected from the batteries?
two wks or more
What is a magnetic crane?
The crane itself isn't magnetic. The attachment that either couples to the boom clevice or cables. The power is supplies via generator.

Why won't the alternator charge the battery if everything is new and all contacts are clean on a Cadillac Brougham?
What is it you are using to determine its not charging? The charging system includes basically the generator with its belts, battery, the charging "relay" included in the generator and the wiring. If the battery and battery cables are new and it does not charge at all (battery goes dead in an hour's drive or quicker) then visually check if there's the generator belt still connected, then if it is, check visually that the cables behind the generator are all ok. The first fix if these do not produce improvement woiuld be a repair kit (new brushes, new "relay" voltage controller, and a new bearing); these are easy to put in place after the generator is loose and opened by opening the three or four long bolts on the perimeter, but putting the thing back togethr nearly would require a manual for first-timers. Simple anyway, does not require expensive tools, and the kit is cheap (a couple of dollars). Easier and sure fix is a new generator - some tens of dollars, and includes all the small parts. Just take the generator out, disconnect cables, connect cables to the new generator, install and tighten the belt, and see the lights ! remember also to disconnect the battery before starting to fixture with the generator, and to connect it in the end in order to make the car run...

Is it possible to make your own extension cables?
It is possible for one to make their own extension cables by separating two or more cable chords, and using a series of male and female outlets and sockets, to combine their length.
