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...

A generator produces 240volts at 25 amperes. If the mechanical and electrical power losses total 900 watts what is the efficiency of the generator?
Efficiency is measured as the ratio of power output to power input. In this case the power input of the generator is 240V * 25A = 6000 VA however the stated losses are 900 W so the power output is 6000 - 900 = 5100W. Then the efficiency would be 5100/6000 = 0.85 or 85% efficient.
What power is supplied to the starter motor of a large truck that draws 250 A of current from a 24.0-V battery hookup?
6000 watts.
Can a 6000 watt generator power a 25hp ac electric motor?
No it what work 756 watts = 1 HP. You would need a generator that can supply 756 x 25 = 18900 watts.
A generator produces 240volts at 25 amperes If the mechanical and electrical power losses total 900 watts what is the efficiency of the generator?
If the generator produces 240v at 25 amps, this amounts to 6000 watts, so if the losses are 900 watts, the total power generated must be 6900 watts. The efficiency is then 6000/6900 = 0.87, or 87 percent. You have not put in heat losses however, or are they included in 'mechanical? ****The previous answer above is incorrect. Read and understand the question first. The general rule of thumb when calculating power equations is to factor in power loss as an inclusive amount of the total power being generated. unless stated otherwise Therefore 240v at 25amps gives 6000watts power loss is 900watts The question says that the power the generator produces is 240v at 25amps which is not the useful power it delivers ( this is a very common mistake in learning and real life applications) and that is why we do not add power loss to the total power generated, rather we subtract power loss from the total power generated. Efficiency of the generator is actually the power the generator is delivering for useful work compared to the total power generated. In this case 6000 watts (Total power produced) - 900watts ( power loss) = 5100watts Therefore the geneator's efficiency is 5100/6000 x 100% = 85% For the last part of the previous answer, For a generator, mechanical movement is counter reacted by friction which produces heat and noise while resistance to electrical current flow and electomagnetic induction generate heat. Of course this is just a general description, it gets quite complicated in advanced level analysis where back e.m.f, magnetic resonance, physical construction (generator type) and purity of construction materials just to mension a few are involved. I'm only a simple physicist, but I feel the word 'produced' is ambiguous, and I took it to mean the same as 'delivered'. If I went out and bought a small generator, and the sales people said it was a 2 Kw generator, I would expect it to deliver 2 Kw, and not 85 percent of that figure. So I think you could take this either way. To use the word 'produced' is not ideal, better to use 'generated power' and 'output power'.
What could be the cause of overspeed in a diesel generator?
The causes of over loading in generator comes from the action of applying more load that the generator is rated for. An example using a 5000 watt generator and a connected load of 6000 watts.
What is the return policy as well as warranty on a Smith Weight Machine MP 6000?
The Smith Weight Machine MP 6000 comes with a 2 year limited warranty.
Will the Smith Weight Machine MP 6000 provide proper training, similar to a public gym?
The Smith Weight Machine MP 6000 provides great training just as a gyms weight machine would.
What is the kw per hour for a 6000 w generator?
6000W x 1 hour = 6 KWH
What size generator should I purchase for a two bedroom house?
A 6000 watt generator will keep your small appliances running. A 20000 watt generator will keep all your home appliances running during power outages, like the refrigerator, dryer, washer, etc. Of course the higher the watt, the more expensive the generator, so it really depends how many outages you have in your area and how much money you are willing to invest.
