The kV.A (not 'kva') rating is the total apparent power of the machine. So a 75 kV.A machine is 25 kV.A per phase.

What is 3-phase generator?

a generator is built in three phases


Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?

Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.

How to convert a generator three phase output to single phase?

If the generator is a 12 lead reconnectable, you can use something called a zig-zag connection.Check the link below. It is an installation manual for a Marathon generator. Zig-zag connections are shown on page 8. For a home, you would use the low zig-zag connection for 120/240V (in the US). One caveat: you can only load a zig-zag single-phase connected generator to a maximum of 66% of its rated load. So, a 15kW 3-phase generator would only provide 10kW single-phase power. If this doesn't quite make sense, hire a pro!IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.


Can you use a portable generator like the one sold at home depot along with household power to generate 3 phases of electricity?

No, a portable generator typically provides single-phase power, which is insufficient for generating three-phase electricity. While you can use multiple single-phase generators in a specific configuration to create three-phase power, it requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Most household setups do not support three-phase systems unless specifically designed for it. For three-phase power, a dedicated three-phase generator or a commercial power supply is needed.

Can a 6 watt dc generator produce that much electricity which can be used to run a 3 phase and a 2 phase motor?

"2 phase" and "3 phase" are descriptions of AC supplies, which no DC generator can imitate, regardless of its power rating.

Will a diesel generator producing single phase work on three phase electricity supply?

No, you can not get three phase power from a single phase generator no matter what internal connections you use. On the other hand you can obtain a single phase supply from a three phase generator by using any two phase legs as a source. <<>> I single phase generator can produce three phase by using a converter but its not efficient and does not work very well. <<>> Well there is an another way too. but one has to be precautious in that...simply short the three phases of the electricity supply n feed them with a single phase of the generator...now when the mains is bak make sure the short phases are separated again and then powered up otherwise you will be hearin blasts here n there...use ATS for automatic switching that gives you automatic transfer and can be programmed when to short and when not to..

Is oxygen an example of a phase?

Oxygen is an example of one of the four phases of matter, it being of a gaseous phase. Phase is simply another term for 'state.' Liquid, Solid and Plasma being the others.


Does kva equal voltage x current x 1.73 for a 3 phase generator?

Yes, but only for balanced loads (current in all three phases the same value). The voltage value used is the phase to phase voltage.

What are the two phases of a colloid?

The two phases of a colloid are the dispersed phase (the particles that are distributed throughout the dispersion medium) and the dispersion medium (the substance in which the dispersed phase is suspended).


Two phases of swallowing?

There are actually three phases of swallowing and not two as the question asks. The three phases of swallowing includes: the oral phase, the Pharyngeal Phase, and the Esophageal Phase.
