why the rating of dc generator is in kw where as rating of alternator is in kva?..

Answer / ramdarkmaster

In case of D.C generator it is supplying only active power(Kw) because the no capacitance or inductance loads connected to D.C generator, it's purely resistive. but in case of alternator it supplying inductive as well as capacitative load hence there are both active power(Kw) and reactive power(Kvar) and both combined together real power(KVA), hence alternator ratings are in KVA's.

why the rating of dc generator is in kw where as rating of alternator is in kva?..

Answer / a

KW= HPx746
where as KVA=HPx746/Power factor,
For example: If 100 Hp Motor needs generator
100HPx746/0.5 to 0.9.

my question is that....few days ago i had installed a three phase motor starter for an electric saw.the motor will run and make the hydraulic pressure which will be goes to pressure cylender by up and down lever.two number of limitswitches are also installed on cylinder for safety of motor.now when the arm of cylinder reaches to the upper or lower limit it will cut the motor's line.and motor will be stop.now wana know that what will i do that motor runs continue after the limitswitch cut it down but it shold not be made any pressure.pls answer me in brief.
