It is clearly stated in the manual and on the nameplate affixed to said diesel generator set.

If you don't have the manual (and cannot find the nameplate) try the manufacturer's website.

OK. What is 15kVA divided by 440V?

(15*1000)/440 = 34.09

KVA=1.732x Line Volt x Line Current X Cos Phi

15=1.732X400xIx0.8

I= 15000/1.732x400x0.8

=26 Amps

well I think you need to take some course on basic electricity, first you need to know the ohm's law and apply the formula.

I = VA/E, for a one phase system

I= VA/(!.73X VXPF) three phase system.

I = Ampere; VA = Volt-Ampere; V= Volt; PF= Power Factor (0.8 Typically DG)

I hope this help you
