There are zero amps in 6600 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. To find amperage use the following equation, A = W/V, so as you can see a voltage value is needed in the equation to result in an amperage.

50 amps equals 6,000 watts at 120 volts. This would require a 60 amp circuit as the circuit can only be loaded to 80%.
There are zero amps in 6000 watts. I = W/E.
Amps is the result of watts divided by volts. As you can see without a voltage no answer can be given.
At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
AWG 12/2 with ground on a dedicated circuit with a 20 amp breaker. That will safely supply 1920 watts of continuous power.
That depends on the power requirement of the sump pump. A 1000 watt generator (if this is running watts) will produce 1000 watts continuous. Through some simple math, this is equivalent to 8.33 amps at 120 volts. Current (in Amps)=Power (in Watts)divided by Voltage (in Volts). On your sump pump, there is something called a nameplate which lists model number, serial number, manufacturer, and power requirements. The power can either be listed in watts directly, or in amps (at 120v). If it lists watts directly, this number is either higher or lower than your 1000w generator. If it lists amps, your generator will supply 8.33 amps continuous, as figured above. Likewise, you can find out if your generator can power any given load by using this method. Just divide the listed wattage by 120 to get amps. Also, motors do pull higher current when they start, so it is usually recommended to size the generator larger than you would otherwise when you are running a motor, such as your pump. If the sump pump is right up there at 8 amps, it would be pushing the limit to expect it to run the pump. Some smaller generators too are so-called "inverter" units, and many of these are not recommended for motor starting duty. Check the generator's manual to be sure.
The transformer itself does not pull current. Whatever you connect to the transformer pulls current. Whatever the output voltage of the transformer is, divide that into 600 and you get maximum current possible without burning up the transformer. At 24V that's 25 amps.
