What size wire and breaker do you need to run a 9000max watt generator?
If it is a portable generator the breaker should be self contained within the generators panel. If the generator is a stationary standby unit a voltage has to be stated to calculate the conductor size and hence the breaker size to protect the conductor. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What size wire would you use for a 70KW 240 vac single phase generator?
To calculate the wire size you would have to find the amperage. I = W/E, 70000/240 = 291.67 amps. The wire size according to code has to be up sized to 125%. 291.67 x 125% = 364.6. 500MCM copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 380 and 395 amps respectively. If parallel conductors were used the wire size for 75 degree wire would be 3/0 rated at 200 amps. Parallel conductors for 90 degree wire would be 2/0 rated at 185 amps.
How much wire is needed to build a cardboard generator?
10 meters of wire
What size wire should be used to connect a 60A output from a generator to the distribution panel?
For a 60A output from a generator to a distribution panel, you would typically use a 6-gauge wire for copper or a 4-gauge wire for aluminum. Make sure to also check local electrical codes and guidelines to ensure correct sizing and safety compliance.
Is 6-3 wire sufficent for wiring 15k standby generator?
The wire size is based on the amperage to the load. This is the quick estimate for amps when kilowatts are known, Amps = Watts/Voltage. As you can see the value of the voltage that the generator produces is needed. A #6 copper wire with 90 degree C insulation is rated at 65 amps. The following are exact formula for amps when kilowatts are known. This is a formula for single phase generation, Amps = kW x 1000/Volts x pf. The three phase formula is, Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. pf = power factor.
What size gas generator shoud you use for 55200 watts?
You would need at the minimum a 56 KW generator. In reality you would need a 60KW.
Will a 60kw generator that puts out 477v 3-phase power run a machine that requires 230460v 3-phase?
Crank the generator excitation up to 480 or down to 460. For calculations I used 480 volts. A 60kW generator at 480 volts will put out, kW x 1000/1.73 x E x (pf(.9)) = 80 amps. It looks like the machine that is to be run off the generator is a dual voltage machine. Not knowing the HP of the machine wire it to the 460 volt connection. The inrush current might be a problem if the HP is high.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What size wire and breaker do you need to run a 9000max watt generator?
If it is a portable generator the breaker should be self contained within the generators panel. If the generator is a stationary standby unit a voltage has to be stated to calculate the conductor size and hence the breaker size to protect the conductor. Amps = Watts/Volts.
A 60kw propane generator what would the btu's be to operate this system?
I just came across literature that rated 13-16,000 btuh for each Kw of power.
How to wire a generator for optimal performance and safety?
To wire a generator for optimal performance and safety, follow these steps: Choose the right size and type of wire for the generator's power output. Install a transfer switch to safely connect the generator to your home's electrical system. Ground the generator to prevent electrical shocks. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and maintenance. Regularly test and maintain the generator to ensure it is working correctly and safely.

How many watts can be powered by a 9 volt generator?
There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.
What size of wire to use for 1015 kva ac generator?
To answer this question a voltage must be given to find the current output. Also whether the generator is three phase or single phase.
How can I install a wire generator to power my house efficiently?
To install a wire generator to power your house efficiently, you should first determine the appropriate size and type of generator for your energy needs. Next, consult with a professional electrician to ensure proper installation and connection to your home's electrical system. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the generator will help ensure efficient and reliable power supply to your house.
What is a generator made from?
Magnets and wire.
What size wire do you need going from a 20KW 83A generator to the main 200A automatic transfer switch?
In conduit? direct burial? distance?
