First of all, a 150 HP 460V 3-phase motor only draws around 170A, so two of them would only draw 340A, not 800.
340A at 460V equals almost 300,000 watts (or 300kw), and the generator would need to be sized a little bigger than this to start such big motors.
Full load amps for a three phase, 375KVA generator is 375 / (voltage in kV) / sqrt(3).
Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.
It depends upon the Generator system voltage. For 3 Phase, 600 Volt system, it will be 73 Amps For 3 Phase, 480 Volt system, it will be 90 Amps For 3 Phase, 208 Volt system, it will be 208 Amps
50 Amps Single Phase 20 Amps Three Phase
Yes, most large motors are three phase. Usually single phase motors only go up to 10 HP. Larger than this and the wire size and contactors used to control the motors becomes extreme. For example a single phase 10 HP motor on 115 volts draws 100 amps. The same single phase motor on 230 volts draws 50 amps. The same 10 HP motor on three phase system draws the following amperage; 230 volts is a 28 amp draw, 460 volts is a 14 amp draw and 575 volts is a 11 amp draw. As you can see the higher the voltage becomes, the smaller the wire feeder size is needed and much smaller size contactor can be used to control the motor.
75 Amps theoretically Need to know if the generator is 3 phase or single phase.
62.5 amps
To answer this question the voltage of the generator must be given.
Full load amps for a three phase, 375KVA generator is 375 / (voltage in kV) / sqrt(3).
What is the generator amps
Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.
It depends upon the Generator system voltage. For 3 Phase, 600 Volt system, it will be 73 Amps For 3 Phase, 480 Volt system, it will be 90 Amps For 3 Phase, 208 Volt system, it will be 208 Amps
The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
Typically 75 amps on natural gas, 85 amps using propane. Peak amps(for less than a second) to start a big appliance, like an A/C condenser, are 130.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. I = 746/220 = 3.39 amps <<>> Rule of thumb Current (Amps) of Single phase 240Vac motors = HP x 5 For Single phase 220Vac use Rule of Thumb and add 0.5A Current (Amps) of three phase 400Vac motors = HP x 1.5 Good for single phase from fractional HP values up to 7.5 HP. Good for three phase HP values up to 30 HP
The formula you are looking for is , A = kva x 1000/Volts.
200kw gen how much amp take Need to know what the volotage and phase the generator is.
