Answer / bhanu

kw is value of power reading

kva is rating of any machine

Answer / sajid hussain

kw is the true power which is consumed in the circuit while the KVA is the product of rms value of the voltage and current
known as apparent power.
Kw= v*i*cosA/1000 1- Phase
Kw= Sqrt3*v*i*cosA/1000 3- Phase
KVA = KW/CosA
KVA=VA/1000
Here Cos A = Power factor

Answer / shailesh n. narayane

KW=VIcosine of p.f.angle=Active power
KVA=VI=Apparent power
KVAR=VI sine of p.f. nagle

VIcosine of p.f.angle
So p.f.= _______________________
Apparent power

Answer / ankit

KW is power of rating of machine which is depend of self power factor
and KVA is power of rating of any machine which is depend of load's pawer facor

Answer / gg

KVA = KW/cosa
WHERE COSA = POWER FACTOR OF SYSTEM.

Answer / nathan

KW=KVA*POWER FACTOR

Answer / arulkumaran

KW = POWER FACTOR CONSUMED,
(E.G) Electrical loads, Generator.
KVA = NOT CONSUMED THE POWER FACTOR,
(E.G) Transformer.

KVA = KW / Power factor.

Answer / annoo kumar prajapati

KW is energy consumed by circuit and KVA is actual suply like (220V, 440V) TO the circuit.

Answer / katoch

kw is the active power while kva is the reactive power.

kw = kva/power factor of system

Answer / dev singh

KVA = KW * CosA
Here Cos A = Power factor
which is depend upon load factor

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase), before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
