Answer / anson yosa dewanto
KVA = Kilo Volt Ampere (1000 VA)
P = V.I.CosQ (WATT)
Q = V.I.SinQ (VAR)
S = V.I (VA)
P = S.CosQ
Watt = VA.CosQ
VA = Watt/CosQ
Q = S.SinQ
VAR = VA.SinQ
VA = VAR/SinQ
TQ... =)

Answer / tareq harb
it is the apparent power or the total power in the system
KVA square = KW square + KVARs square.
Any electrical equipment that takes both KW + KVAR will be
sized in KVA like electrical alternators, transformers &
cables.
but systems that can handle KW only is sized with KW only
like Mechnical engines.
The reason why KVA is very important to be considered in
design BCZ VARs are hidden & unuseful in the system but
will cause an extra current to rotate in the system for
example cables should be chosen depending on KVA not only
KW to avoid overloading & over heating caused by KVARs.

Answer / bharathkomarla
KVA is apparent power.It is vectorial summatation of KW and
KVAR.
KVA=root(KW*KW+KVAR*KVAR)
KVA =KV*I*root3

Answer / dilip kumar
KVA is the reactive power. Generally any equipment draws
two currents one is active component of current and another
one is reactive component which is used to produce the
require flux or it is the power consumed by the reactive
elements.

In the solution of load flow eqation, Newton raphson method is superior to the gauss siedal method because (a)the time taken to perform one iteration in the NR method is less when compared to GS method (b)the number of iterations required in the NR method is more compared to that in the GS method (c)the number of iterations required is dependant on the size of the system in the NR method (d)convergence characteristics of the NR mehod are not affected by the selection of the slack bus
