Can any amateur electricians explain how much oomph is needed.
I’ll not be running many power tools but my pumps use a fair bit of power I’d imagine
& farmhouse & steading lights etc

You might as well ask how long is a piece of string. Are you single phase, three phase? too many variables to guess.

Go round and list the power of each item your wanting to power,total it all up and that’s how much power you need.

I’ll ask my electrician
I’m 3 phase, but don’t think I use all 3 phases for much.
Thanks

would a 95hp tractor cope with any of these?

What pumps are they?
What size?

95hp tractor should run a 40kva generator ok.

you need to consider start up power as well though, and potentially the order they are started in.
Motors (pumps) can take a lot of getting going i beieve.

Found a couple of photos of the pumps
(They rotate usage using a float system and pump to a holding tank 100 metres up the hill (approx 50 metres in altitude)

anyone want to guess how much power they need?

I bought a new pto 3 phase 30kva generator about 16 years ago it was 900 pounds, drove it with mf 135

@LandcruiserLad

Your pumps aren't using a great amount 3 Kva would drive those.

If you've not got your 3 phases balanced you can run in to trouble , if for instance your house requires 20 kVa single phase then you'd need something like a 62 Kva three phase generator.

Looking at Mosa gennys on the website gives both single and three phase outputs and the bigger they are the worse they get Starts with a 20 kva three phase gives 10 kva single phase,
but when you get to the 80 Kva you only 32 kva in single phase.
