You would need at the minimum a 56 KW generator. In reality you would need a 60KW.

∙ 11y agoGenerators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
The size of a generator is based on what the connected load will be. Add up all of the connected wattages that will be connected to the generator at one time and add ten percent, this will be the size of the generator you will need. Some equipment does not show the wattage on its nameplate. To find the wattage use the following formula Watts = Amps x Volts.
A typical blow dryer requires around 1500-1800 watts to operate effectively. Therefore, a generator with a capacity of at least 2000 watts would be suitable to run a blow dryer.
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
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.
To determine the wire size and breaker needed for a 9000 max watt generator, you would first need to calculate the running wattage of the generator, as this is the value used for sizing the wire and breaker. Once you have the running wattage, you can then refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for guidance on the appropriate wire size and breaker size based on the circuit's length and the type of insulation on the wire. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the installation meets safety and code requirements.
There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.
Answer Generators usually always go by watts. To figure this all you do is take(volts x Amps) = watts. You know the volts (220) then look on the pump for the amp rating and then multiply them and you will have your watts. Then get a generator that is rated for this amount for continuos operation not peak watts. Hope this helps.
Conversion from gas to electric should be 750 watts/hp So 7.5*750=5625 watts These are running watts so that is a bare minimum. Depending on the application it needs much more starting watts (up to 3 times for a compressor). Generator should be no less than 8000 watts, maybe more if you work it hard.
There is a calculator that helps determine the size of generator for a specific application. The kilowatt is a thousand watts which is also is the same as one KW.
To size a generator for a pump that draws 7 amps on each leg of a 240V circuit, you would calculate the total power consumption by multiplying the current (7A) by the voltage (240V) and the number of phases (2), which equals 3360 watts. Then, choose a generator with a rated power output greater than 3360 watts to ensure it can handle the load of the pump. A generator with at least a 4000-watt rating would be a suitable choice in this scenario.
you need around 60000 watts on a dc current
