we all know that both the generator and motor are electromechanical conversion devices.....then why..

Answer / kk

the motors are rated in Kw as we know the actual current
drawn by it at rated voltage and power factor in normal but
generator has to carry the load wich is not predifined and
type of load is also notr defined so generators are rated
in Kva

Answer / kolhe g j

Rotation related with active power . The motor rating
decided on shaft load which is in KW . Generator delivers
electrical power in KVA and Two WDg one for voltage control
ie Field wdg
