The only relevant number is the kw. Then you just divide by the power factor to get the KVA. 0.8 is a pretty typical PF, so that would give you a KVA of about 9.4. But motors can take up to 5 times their rated current on start-up, so you need to make sure you have a generator that will handle that instantaneous current.

Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?

Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.

The generator should be about ¾ hp.

probably about 50 hp depending on how reliable the efficiency ratings of the various manufacturers are


Can you run 22 kw 600v 3 phase induction motor?

Yes this size motor can be operated by bringing a 600 volt three phase supply to it.


How many watts can be powered by a 9 volt generator?

There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.


Concrete mixer whose motor got following configuration 5.5 KW 380v 1140 RPM 3 phase what is the suitable size of generator to run this motor?

You should get a 3 phase generator that has 8-12 KW. If you had to you could use a 3 phase 5.5-6 kw but it may wear out faster because you are using 100% power. The 3 phase gen will allow you to select 480 volt which can be converted to 380 for the mixer. The rpm of the motor in irrelevant because the generator is the power source in this situation, once the gen powers the motor it will produce 1140 to power the mixer.


How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?

You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.


Can you run a 570 volt motor on 480 volt three phase power supply?

No, the voltage difference is too much. A 570 volt motor falls in the 600 volt range which is separate from the 480 volt range of three phase systems.


How do you get a 380 volt 3 phase motor to run on a 220 volt 3 phase power source?

Use a transformer.


On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?

If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.


What size generator would it take to start and run a 6 horsepower 220 volt electric motor on a air compressor?

To answer this question the full load amperage of the motor and what phase the motor is, should have been given. This answer uses the motor amperage give in the electrical code book and will be close for your purpose. A 6 HP is not a common size motor. 7.5 HP motor is 25.3 amps. Using a power factor of 90%. W = I x E x 1.73 x pf, W = 25.3 x 220 x 1.73 x .9 = 8666 watts. A 10kW three phase generator will probably start the motor if it is not under load when it starts. A 15 kw generator would be better. A single phase 7.5 HP motor draws 40 amps. W = I x E x pf = 40 x 220 x .9 = 7920. Again A 10kW single phase generator will probably start the motor if it is not under load when it starts. A 15 kw generator would be better.
