Volts * Amps = Watts 220V * 20 A = 4400 Watts BUT!!! You don't want to run a generator at 100% capacity for very long; that should be considered peak conditions only and the generator should be run at 80% or less. The generator will last a lot longer if you run it at 50% capacity (in other words, a generator with 8800 Watt capacity would be a good place to start)
-- 80% of 100 kilowatts = 80 kilowatts-- Ignoring the power factor, 80 kilowatts is supplied from a 220-volt sourcewhen the current is 3637/11Amperes. (rounded)
To calculate the total kWh produced in 24 hours, first convert the current (333A) to amperes (A) using the formula: Power (kW) = Voltage (V) x Current (A). Then, multiply the total power output in kW (40 kW) by the number of hours (24 hours) to get the total energy produced in kWh. The calculation would be: Total kWh = Power (kW) x Time (hours) = 40 kW x 24 hours = 960 kWh.
To completely power everything you would need a 12KW generator. However in an emergency you can live with a 5.5KW generator. You will not however be able to run an electric oven at all. To run an electric water heater almost everything else will have to be shut off. You will have to ration the power.
The kW rating of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the kVA rating by the power factor. For example, if the power factor is 0.8, then the kW rating of a 100 kVA transformer would be 80 kW. You can also use the formula: kW = kVA x power factor.
