Portale generator for High Curent test Set
(OP)
I need to power a circuit breaker high current test set with a portable generator in order to test the main 3000 amp bolted in breaker. All power will be off the facility.
The test set normally is powered by a 480 VAC 100 amp single phase circuit in the shop.
Would a three phase 480 VAC generator rated at 100 amps be suitable to power the single phase test set for the short time it takes to test the breaker?

For a breaker test I doubt you'll need the full driving voltage available from the test set so the chances are your load on the primary side will be less than 100A.

That's an impressive set-up.

Keep in mind that the breaker-test set will present a very low power-factor load to the portable generator.
