that site calculates power for you, 50kva Is cutting it close a 75 kva should do just fine.

kva is simply 65k or thousand. 65,000watts

to find what amperage you need simply apply watts law. watts divided by power source.

example. the typical MRI trailer is around 100amps @480 3phase. lets say we use a 75kva gen.

then its 75,000 divided by 480 i believe its around 156.25 amps of power.

good luck
