Re: What do you mean by Power factor of a generator? Power
factor purely depends on the load (wether inductive,
reactive or unity) then what does the Power factor
mentioned on the generator nameplate means?

Answer / niharika
the mentioned power factor is not the load power factor..
it is the nominal pf used to calculate the kW output of an engine which is used to supply the power for a particular alternator kVA output
