what is the formula to calculate kva genset required for a given load in kw...

Answer / virendra

Kva Required is = KW/0.8( Power factor )
& as the DG set is prefered to run at 80% load of the total
capacity then the Rated capacity is KVA/0.8

If the load is 100 KW rhen KVa is 100/0.8 = 125 KVa & the
rated kva is 125/0.8 = 156.25 KVA say 160 kva D.G set is
required.

Answer / vaibhav kr. pathak (ongc,hazir

Normaly relation between kVA and kW can be described as:
For 1phase system->kW=kVA X power factor.
For 3phase system->kW=3^(1/2)*V*I*power factor (V&I are
line voltage and current respectively)

We have 2 Nos. Transformer with the capacity of 2000KVA and 1250 KVA and currently using only one 2000KVA T/R during operational hours while non- operational hous 1250 KVA T/R also used to reduce T & D losses. Similarly, 2 capacitor bank of 500KVAR and 300 KVAR also installed to balance reactive power. Now problem is around 1000 KW load PF is not maintaning 0.99 as 350 KVAR capacitor is in healty condtion. Now the PF is maintain 0.95 to 0.96.
