My reasoning, most homes have 100A service.

Here's a neat site I just found to convert from kVA to KW, etc.

Power Calculator for Generators: Convert kVA to kW, kW to kVA, kW to HP

The motors really draw the amps 1.5HP farm sized well pump needs the juice.
the reserve power makes the motor starts easy. If your not in a rural setting 10KVA is plenty I would think for a 1500Sqft city home 5KVA would be OK. Farm type needs 20KVA is the min.
