What size generator would be required for 440 volts 3 phase 100 amp supply?

Volts * Amps = Watts 220V * 20 A = 4400 Watts BUT!!! You don't want to run a generator at 100% capacity for very long; that should be considered peak conditions only and the generator should be run at 80% or less. The generator will last a lot longer if you run it at 50% capacity (in other words, a generator with 8800 Watt capacity would be a good place to start)

What RPM and size generator would power an average us home?

A typical 100 amp service is comparable to a 25 KVA generator. That said, very few homes pull that much load. Most utilities size their distribution systems for a 5 KVA load per home, assuming that not all homes would pull full load at the same time. RPM is a function of the number of poles in the generator. To get 60 Hz power with a two pole generator, you need 1,800 RPM.
