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.

Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?
If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.
Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?
Is a 2.8 kilowatt generator big enough to run a house as a standby?
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.
If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?
Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.

Will a 6000 watt generator power a machine that draws 14 amps?
Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...
