generator Sets

How many continuous hours can a 3 kilo volt amperes generator set run a 2hp irrigation water pump.?
3 kVA (reactive power) would be about 2,4 kW (active power) at power factor 0.8 (which could be expected of small electric motor)
2 hp pump draws 0.76 kW per hp = a little less than 1.6 kW in total (roughly calculated)
Answer, your generator will drive the pump until you run out of gas.
If the generator has a hard time starting the pump, close down the water valve a little and only open it after pump running. Then you start with less than full load.
