Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?


Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?

If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.


How much amperage will a 12 v 600 w generator produce?

50 amps. I=P/E.


How many watt generator does it take to run your home?

If the service is single phase 200 amp then you would need a, W = A x V, 200 x 240 = 48000 watt generator. Since there are no 48kW standard generators you would have to use a 50 kW generator. If your home distribution panel is 100 amps then a 25 kW generator will work.


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...


How many watt generator to run a 150 amp service?

You will need a 50 kW generator for a single phase 120/240 volt service.


Is a 2.8 kilowatt generator big enough to run a house as a standby?

No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.


How many amps on 25 kva transformer 1phase secondary 230 volts?

Take the KVA and divide it by the voltage. 25/.230 = 109 amps. The transformer can put out up to 50% more that its rated for short durations. So you could get around 150 amps out of a 25 Kva tranformer in a worst case situation.


What does 24vac 50va equal to in amps?

In 50 VA the V stands for volts and the A is for amps. Hence the formula you are looking for is 50/240 = Amps.


What is the Max amps for 6 gauge?

50 amps


If my house has a 200 amp line what size generator would it take to run the house and have the same power?

Your house runs nowhere near 200 amps, so you need to make a list of appliances and fixtures that you use, or that you will need while the generator is running, and add their power consumption together. Add some extra capacity for growth and so the generator is not always at full power. Then talk to dealers about generators with the amount of power you need. To run the house on a generator with the same capacity as the service that you have in your house you would need a 50 Kilowatt generator.


Will a craftsman 5600 watts generator run a 50 amp plug?

To answer this question, the voltage to be used on the plug must be stated. With no voltage stated the answer is no. The smallest generator to obtain 50 amps is a 6000 watt generator.The output of a 5600 watt or 5.6 kW generator in amperage using 240 volts is 5.6 x 1000 = 5600/240 x 1 = 23 amps.Equation to use for single phase calculations is Amps = kW x 1000/Volts x pf.For calculation purposes use 1 as a pf consonant. Generators that are commonly used in residential environments usually have a power factor of 1.0.Amperage for each "hot" leg to neutral is 5600/120 x 1 = 46 amps. The only trouble using 120 volts is that on this type of generator, the 120 volt circuits are connected to the duplex receptacles. These receptacles are protected at 15 amps each.You would need to have access to the generators junction box to change the generators output leads. Even then, all you will obtain is 46 amps.A 6000 watt or 6 kW generator at 120 volts will give you 6000/120 x 1 = 50 amps.A 12000 or 12 kW generator at 240 volts will give you 12000/240 x 1 = 50 amps.
