Want this question answered?
Volts * Amps = Watts 220V * 20 A = 4400 Watts BUT!!! You don't want to run a generator at 100% capacity for very long; that should be considered peak conditions only and the generator should be run at 80% or less. The generator will last a lot longer if you run it at 50% capacity (in other words, a generator with 8800 Watt capacity would be a good place to start)
If the generator is rated 40 KW, it doesn't mean the generator pours out 40 KWwhenever it's running. It means you can take as much power as you want from itas long as you don't try and take more than 40 KW for too long, because that couldoverheat or damage the generator.Notice that your 40 KW is just the product of the rated voltage and current:120 V times 333 A = 39,960 watts = nominal "40 KW".We point that out in order to mention that the voltage and current rating of thegenerator are irrelevant to the answer.If you load the generator to its max of 40 KW continuously for 24 hours, thenit delivers (40 x 24) = 960 KWH of energy.
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.
No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.
To completely power everything you would need a 12KW generator. However in an emergency you can live with a 5.5KW generator. You will not however be able to run an electric oven at all. To run an electric water heater almost everything else will have to be shut off. You will have to ration the power.
Since the breaker that is installed on the generator set will be sized to the output of the 30 kW generator, the load will stay connected until the thermal trip of the breaker trips the load off line. This will be in the matter of seconds before it happens. To handle a 75 kW load and depending if it is an inductive or a resistive load you will need at least a 80 to 100 kW generator.
A Caterpillar 150 kilowatts SR for generator ways approximately 800 pounds without fluids. The generator will weigh over 1000 pounds with fluids.
You need to convert KVA to KW. In order to do this correctly you need to know your power factor.,
I have a new 80 kw diesel for sale
5.274 KW
Depends upon the Kw rating of the generator. The higher the Kw rating the more fuel will be used.
It depends on the total connected load (KW) of the house. If the total connected load is about 20 KW the alternator generator should be designed to meet peak 20 kw load
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.

480V.
off
At 746 watts per horsepower (electric) a 35 kw generator would require about 470 horsepower. Round that up, and allowing for control loop margin and mechanical losses, I would guess that a 35 kw generator should need a 500 or 600 horsepower engine.
