    Need to size generators

    SETUP: 32 pumps 480V, 16A, 3 ph, 10hp (from vendor, not sure if it makes sense......p = vi sqrt3 = (480V)(16A)(1.73) = 13286.4 VA 13286.4 VA / 746 W/hp = 17.8 hp, right?) Assuming V & A correct: (13286.4 VA x 1.25 safety) / pump x 32 pumps = 16608 VA x 32 = 531,456 VA = 532 kVA Looking at...
