How do you size a generator to operate a pump that draws 7 amps on each leg of a 240 Volt Circuit?

At 240 volts, and 7 amp current, you will have a load of 1680 watts (volts x amps = watts). A 2000 watt generator will sufice, however a 3500 watt generator, if within your budget, will power a few other necessities if required.

Can you plug a 9000 BTU air conditioner unit into a 110-120 volt line safely?
Check and see what the amperage the A/C unit draws. These types of appliances should have their own dedicated circuit. If there is nothing of a high load on the existing 120 volt circuit and the A/C unit draws less than 12 amps, the unit should operate without tripping the breaker. If the A/C unit only has wattage and no amperage shown on the nameplate use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
Can you plug 120 volt into 110volt?
Yes, but it may draw too much current for the circuit. If it's a 15 amp circuit and the welder draws 17 amps, it won't work. Voltage is only a part of the puzzle.
Are Ground fault circuit interrupter GFCI devices available for use on 240 volt 480 volt and 600 volt circuits?
Yes, in the form of GFCI circuit breakers, not as a receptacle.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.
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.
Can your 30 amp generator pull a double 20 amp circuit?
When the term "double 20 amp circuit" is used, the presumption is that, it is 20 amps at 240 volts. If your generator has the breaker built in then, yes, you have the capacity to run 240 volt devices from your generator.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
An alarm clock draws 0.5 a of current when connected to a 120 volt circuit calculate its resistance?
240 ohms

How do you connect a volt to a circuit?
A volt can not be connected to a circuit.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
How many amperes will a 28-volt generator be required to supply to a circuit containing five lamps?
It depends on how much power the lamps require, and on how they are connected.
What if my generator sends 120 volts and 65 amps into my 200 amp panel box will it run my well pump connected to a 20 amp 240 volt circuit?
No, the generator must output 220 volts which any generator I have ever seen does.
Can a 230 volt operate on 127 volt power?
No.
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
Will a 6000 watt generator power a machine that draws 14 amps?
Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...
