The first thing that is required is the amperage of the motor. I = HP x 746/1.73 x E x %eff x pf. This comes to about 277 amps. The second formula to use to find KVA is KVA = I x E x 1.73/1000 = 277 x 480 x 1.73/1000 = 230. The minimum size generator will be 230 KVA.

Can you modify a 220v generator into 480v power output?

Not on small household generators as they are only single phase. On large industrial 3 phase machines over 100 KW there are internal taps that can be changed depending on the generator coil configurations to select a variety of voltages.


How do you convert 380v 3 phase to 220v 3 phase?

Mathematically, just divide 480 by the square root of three. Electrically, 480V refers to the line-to-line value of a three phase system. For example, measure the voltage across A-phase and B-phase and you'll get 480V. 277V is the line-to-neutral value. Measure the voltage across A-phase and the neutral conductor and you should get 277V.

Can a 440 - 480V 60Hz motor run in a site with 380V 60Hz supply If No how can it work?

The motor will run, probably at nearly the same speed, but it cannot supply the same mechanical load. If it can be run on a lighter load, proportional to the voltage, it should be OK.
