we all know that both the generator and motor are electromechanical conversion devices.....then why..

Answer / kk

the motors are rated in Kw as we know the actual current
drawn by it at rated voltage and power factor in normal but
generator has to carry the load wich is not predifined and
type of load is also notr defined so generators are rated
in Kva

Answer / raikripashankar

motor is having rated capicity in kw and pf but generater
dont have rated pf. pf may be vary depending upon load. and
for calculation of kw requires specific pf.

Answer / kolhe g j

Rotation related with active power . The motor rating
decided on shaft load which is in KW . Generator delivers
electrical power in KVA and Two WDg one for voltage control
ie Field wdg

What is principal to reduce earth leakage current with isolation transformer? When isolation transformer is installed in input stage of system, earth leakage current is reduced. the reason is why the leakage current of 2nd stage of isolation transformer does not affect the 1st stage's leakage current. I would like to know the reason. As you know, earth leakage current is a kind of AC. So, How to reduce earth leakage current in case that isolation transformer is used?
