60kVA total, balanced evenly across the three phases and generally not exceeding 20kVA on any phase.
 
It is 60kVA total. You need to consider the kW output from your prime mover as well.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature". – Nikola Tesla
