Why alternators are rated in KVA?..

Answer / ramprasad thorat

as the copper loss depends on current and core loss depend
on voltage so it is easily possible to find the efficiency
of the alternator. also at the time of manufactoring we dont
know the power factor of the load. so the alternators rating
is in VA.

Why alternators are rated in KVA?..

Answer / nitin

as the load (i.e. resistive /inductive / capacitive )on the
alternator / transformer is not defind so that the
laternator / transformer rating in kva.

kw= sqrt3*v*i*cosQ

resistive p.f=0,
inductive p.f=lagging
apacitive p.f.=leading

Dear Friends, I have a 500KVA transformer supplying whole factory having 3 phase and single phase mixed loads. Power room has ammeters connected via CTs for individual phase. Now I know that readings shown on meter for each phase say R,Y and B are line currents. But when I want to know the total on transformer do I need to add the currents of all three phases readings shown on meter or value for anyone phase will give me the correct power load on transformer for that point of time. 2. If ammeter shows unbalanced readings for R,Y, B phases say 150, 250 and 300 respectively so can I assume that 150A i.e average of 3 will be the 3phase load currents and remaining will be 1phase currents. Please clarify my doubt.
