Why DG set rating in KVA

Answer Posted / santosh

it's not only for DG set, any electrical machine rating will
be in KVA! it's bcos, efficiency of a m/c depends on losses!
at the time manufacturing manufacturer doesn't know at what
powerfactor the machine may be used! AS LOSSES ( COPPER)
DEPENDS ON CURRENT IT TAKES! HENCE THE RATING IN KVA!
