I have a diesel generator 30 KVA , max current 43.5 A, and a motor of 7.5 KW (10 HP), max current 16 A training a submersible pump.
I tried to supply the motor by the generator, but at the start up the generator vibrates then it shuts down.
Conclusion: The motor draws an inrush current that the generator can't supply.
However the motor was supplied using this generator for 4 years.
Conclusion 2: The generator got a bit deteriorated and it can no longer deliver the same power at the start up.
I will be thankful to know your opinions.
