Note:
• The table is based on typical +176 °F (+80 °C) rise continuous
duty generators with 35 % maximum voltage dip during the
startup of single- and three-phase motors.
• Contact the manufacturer of the generator to make sure the unit
has adequate capacity to run the submersible motor.
• If the generator rating is in KVA instead of kilowatts, multiply the
above ratings by 1.25.
