Hey we have steam turbine pump at cooling tower and now we wanna switch to electric motor driven pump. we are plannin to put 75 HP motor and wanna hook up our motor to generator, but now question arise, our generator capasity is 55 KW and when i counted Kw for 75 HP motor it comes to around 66. now suggest me wat are the possible way i have.?? how can i get rid of steam turbine pump and use electric motor driven pump???

Feasibility answer:

If you need 75 horsepower, then your generator will not supply that load. You're going to need a bigger generator. You seriously ought to talk to an electrical engineer about this.

I got your point. only bigger capcaity generator is the way or we can put two pump and share our load.
