Other generators need to be over-sized to get the same motor starting. I do this everyday day with the ag market. A 40KW wouldn't break in properly. Once broken in it would be just fine. Most engines use fuel based on HP load which is 1.5HP to generate 1KW electricity. I have big engines with the same load a smaller one and use about the same amount of fuel
He said it is 3 phase, 480VAC 15kW, so a 20HP pump.
