if you have 200 kva so it's 160 KW then ,you need 400 A MCCB and setting at 0.9 and use cable 4c.185 mm2 if the SMDB is nearby and all this will be change according to the ambient temperature and the electrical code used in your area

A breaker is not sized by individual phase amperage. It will be a three phase or three pole breaker rated at the output of the generator. Use the following formula to find the output amperage of the three phase generator.

Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.

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.


If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?

The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


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 breaker do you need for 9000W at 440V 3 phase delta?

50amp but if considering the breaker cannot withstand starting current you need to size the breaker up.

The generator should be about ¾ hp.


What is the purpose of the 110 V single phase breaker?

The job of a breaker is to limit the amount of current that is applied to the size of wire that is connected to the breaker.

How do you size a phase converter to run a 3 phase welder?

From the nameplate on the welder you find the amperage that the welder draws at the three phase voltage that you are going to use. This amperage is used to size the phase converter. This amperage is also used to size the breaker that will feed the phase converter and wire size for the installation.


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.


What cable is needed to go from a generator to the electrical supply?

The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.


What cable size is needed for 415VAC 3 Phase 400kVA generator to a load 50meters away?

As example, at 380V the generator produces 685A per phase. Therefore you will require 2 x 120mm2 cables per phase. (1 x 120mm2 cable will support 365A per phase). In total you will require approximately 1/2km of cable to cover the 50m run between the generator and the ATS panel/Load. i.e. 5 phases in total - 2 x 50m cables per phase.


What size diesel generator would you need if there was a power outage?

The size of the generator is based on the size of the load you want to supply. Size up the load in watts or amps along with what phase (single or three) and voltage that the load requires. These are needed to give a complete answer.
