How much power a generator of 14 kilowatts produce?
I work on pools , BUT don't take me lightly , I know alot about my generators , I have 3 back at home . I have a 1000009 GW generator that I found in a field , I use it alot for powering my kettle , Thats all I can pretty much power ... Its not that powerful to be honest .
What size generator 1200 amps?
First you need to specify what voltage you require the generator to supply...Lets Assume its 240 Volts AC. Watts=Volts x Amps so 240x1200= 28.8 Kw. Then you have to take the efficiency of the generator into account. Mechanical power in is usually quite a bit more than the electrical power you get out...The difference is mostly the mechanical and thermal losses added together. If we say the generator is 70% efficient then you will need a generator 30% more powerful to supply a constant 1200 Amps...Thats a generator of about 38-40 Kw.
How do you select copper cable per amps?
200kw gen how much amp take Need to know what the volotage and phase the generator is.
How do you measure watts output of a generator?
To do it yourself you will have to be familiar with an amp meter, and ohms law, and be able to trace to main wire leads from the stator windings. I'm sure that an electric motor repair shop would do it for you cheaply. Have you closely examined all tags and labels on the unit? Take the cover off and look real good. UL requires that all manufacturers properly tag all equipment with capacities. A quick rule of thumb, take the amperage of the breaker that protects the plug on the generator. Multiply this amperage by the voltage that comes from the plug. This will give you an indication of the power in watts that this generator should be able to produce. Watts = Amps x Volts.
Is there such thing as a sump pump connected to a generator?
Yes, a sump pump can be connected to a generator to make it operate. Keep in mind that the starting current of the pump motor could be 300% of the running current and the sizing of the generator should take this into account. If you are looking for the sump pump using a mechanical connection it will connect to the engine and not to the generator.
