The 30 hp fla is 36. The 10 hp fla is 12. My step up xformer is 20 kva. How large should my motor starter be? Will a portable generator be large enough? Thanks for your advice.

Will a portable generator be large enough?
Thanks for the responses. As clarification,I’m using a half hp pony on the 30 hp 460v 3ph idler. The motor starter would connect from my generator to the 240/480, 20 or 25 kva xformer. The 480 feeds the idler and the 10 hp 460v 3ph mill motor. I plan on two capacitor banks of 224 micro farad @ 525 v between the two active windings and the fantom winding.
Does this seem reasonable?
Thanks for your comments.
I would replace the genset with a 3 phase unit.
While I own a 30kw genset, it is only single phase, for backup power.
This sounds like what you have.
My boy is runnin' a mill that got all ate up with motor, G.
