Change 230V to 460V for operating an Electric Motor

I have a generator of 3 hp, and it outputs 230 V, and I have a submersible Electric Pump, the motor of which is rated to operate at 460 V, Can I use a step up transformer to increase the voltage output from my generator and power the pump? What more parameters do I need to know of in this case?

Check to see if the generator has 3 phase power output. A typical home generator will provide 230 volt single phase output. You will not be able to step up to 460 volt and start a 3 phase motor with single phase. The only way at that point to generate 3 phase would be to use a VFD with single phase input capability and use the drive to generate 3 phase. You will still need to use a transformer. Variable frequency drives won't normally behave well on generator power but may for an intermittent load like a submersible pump.
