I have done a little bit of research on this, and can tell you that a whole house generator is the way to go, if you can afford it. They are hardwired into your home's electrical system, and will usually run your whole house. A single use generator is usually very noisy, and limited as to how much it can power at one time in your home.

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.

Can you hook up 20 amp power generator to 15 amp house outlet?
You should never hook a generator to any house outlet, no matter the current. I assume you are looking for a quick and dirty way to connect a generator to your house in a power outage situation. This should only be done through an approved disconnect switch.
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.
Can a 30 K W gas emergency generator support a 200 amp residential service with a voltage config of 220 120 volts?
Need to know what voltage the generator is outputing. The maximum voltage a 15kW generator will support at 200A is dependent on service voltage and configuration, the rated generator voltage, the power factor and the load frequency. If this is a typical service to a residential unit, eg. 220V single phase, then the generator will not be able to safely support 200A.

How can you connect single phase generator in three phase supply system in house lighting system?
First house lighting systems are single phase not three phase. To connect a generator to the house lighting system for emergency power, it would take an electrician to do the job properly. The biggest concern would be to isolate the rest of the service from the main distribution supply service and then isolate the rest of the distribution panel loads from the lighting loads.
