Why the generator rating in kva

Answer Posted / yajnesh

The rating of generator is described in terms of KVA by its
manufacturer because the generator will produce a constant
voltage on which it is designed and the current will depend
on the nature of load,for same load it delivers more
current for poor power factor and less current for unity
power factor, since the manufaturer does not know the
nature of load he desribed its rating in terms of voltage
and current.

While in case of motor, motor have fixed power factor.
