To do it yourself you will have to be familiar with an amp meter, and ohms law, and be able to trace to main wire leads from the stator windings. I'm sure that an electric motor repair shop would do it for you cheaply. Have you closely examined all tags and labels on the unit? Take the cover off and look real good. UL requires that all manufacturers properly tag all equipment with capacities.

A quick rule of thumb, take the amperage of the breaker that protects the plug on the generator. Multiply this amperage by the voltage that comes from the plug. This will give you an indication of the power in watts that this generator should be able to produce. Watts = Amps x Volts.

What amperage fuse do you need for gentron generator?

Depends on the output of the generator


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.


Why DC generators are rated in KW and DC motors in HP?

The output of motors are only measured in horsepower in North America. Practically everywhere else, the output is measured in watts. The horsepower and the watt both measure exactly the same thing: power. The horsepower is simply the Imperial unit, whereas the watt is the SI unit. They are interchangeable.


Advantages and disadvatages of a self excited induction generator?

The main disadvantage should be obvious - when the output voltage of the generator is used to provide field current to the generator....what happens if the output voltage sags? If the output voltage becomes depressed, the output power of the generator is compromised (becomes less and less), this in turn can cause the output to become more depressed, leading to an incrementally decreasing output capability. The main advantage is cost savings.


What do you mean by DC generator?

DC generator is used to produce direct current. The basic DC generator have four basic parts 1. A magnetic field 2. A single conductor or loop 3. A commutator 4. Brushes

If a generator has a max output of 10000 watts and the continuous output is 75 percent of max output what is the continuous output in watts?

Let's see. Take 10,000 times 75 % and it equals 10,000 times .75 which equals 7,500 watts or 7.5kW.


What is the efficiency of a dc generator that requires 200 watts of energy to supply 160 watts of output power?

The efficiency of a DC generator can be calculated using the formula: Efficiency (%) = (Output Power / Input Power) × 100. In this case, the input power is 200 watts and the output power is 160 watts. Thus, the efficiency is (160 W / 200 W) × 100 = 80%. This means the generator operates at 80% efficiency.


What is the output watts when generator producing 415volts at 800amps load?

To calculate the output power in watts, multiply the voltage by the current. In this case, the output power would be 332,000 watts (415 volts x 800 amps = 332,000 watts).


How many amps does a 10 kv generator produce?

To determine the current in amps produced by a 10 kV generator, you need to know the power output in watts. The formula to calculate amps is: Amps = Watts / Volts. For example, if the generator produces 10 kW (10,000 watts), the current would be 10,000 watts / 10,000 volts = 1 amp. Therefore, without knowing the specific power output, the amperage cannot be determined.

No! It doesn't matter if you use two legs or three. The output is 5000 watts


What is the formula for counting the output in watt that can be made by a generator 1 kvA?

A 1 KVA generator can deliver 1000 volts times amps. Now, watts can be calculated by multiplying volts times amps. Therefore, this suggests that a 1KVA generator can deliver a 1000W or 1KW output. The reason that the generator is not quoted in Watts is because most loads do not impose a perfect load. It means that the current can be at its highest at a different time to the voltage being at it's highest. Because of this, the generator cannot be fully efficient and the amount of power delivered is less than the suggested maximum. For more information, it is worth looking up "inductive loads" or "power factor" and look for more detailed explanations. So, to answer the question, there is no simple calculation to convert VA into Watts.

What is the relationship between watts and energy output?

Watts measure the rate at which energy is generated or consumed per second. Energy output is the total amount of energy produced or consumed over a period of time. The relationship is that the total energy output is equal to the power (in watts) multiplied by the time duration.
