All electrical devices that supply power are usually rated in kVA. but generator put supply power in kVA because KVA is "apparent power" which does not take an account of power factor and KW is "true power". They generated own power factor
like :
VA = E X I
W = E X I COS PHI

Answer / shelleymuston

All electrical devices that supply power are usually rated in kVA. This includes transformers, UPS's & the like.

Simply put, the difference between kVA & kW is that kVA is "Apparent Power", which does not take into account the Power Factor & kW is "True Power" . See the below equations:

VA = E x I
W = E x I x Cos phi

The above equations are only for single phase.

When a manufacturer makes a transformer, generator, UPS etc, they have no idea of the type of load that will be used & consequently can only rate the device according to its maximum current output that the conductors can safely carry (at untiy Power Factor) & the insulation rating of the conductors (voltage & temperature).

Answer / dave mudra

The power √3 VL IL Cos φ delivered by the alternator for the same value of current, depends upon p.f. (Power Factor=Cos φ) of the load. But the alternator conductors are calculated for a definite current and the insulation at magnetic system are designed for a definite voltage independent of p.f. (Cos φ) of the load. For this reason apparent power measured in kVA is regarded as the rated power of the alternator.
