Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.

A farm that takes a 700-amp supply on 3-phase 415 volts is a big farm drawing 500 kVA so it really needs a 750 kVA generator that would be expected to use 60-70 gallons of diesel per hour. It should be noted that 3 phase 415 volts is a 50 Hertz generated supply.

At lower voltages the power drawn would be less, but the answer is independent of the supply frequency.

Answer for countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

A farm that takes a 700-amp supply on 3-phase 208 volts is a farm drawing 250 kVA that needs a 300-350 kVA generator. It would be expected to use 30-40 gallons of diesel per hour.
