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.

What is the amperage of a 20 HP 240v single phase motor?

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.


How many output amps is a 75 KVA generator?

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


If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?

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.


How many amps will a 240 volt single phase 20KW generator supply?

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.


If 1 hp and 220 v find amp?

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
