Why alternators are rated in KVA?

Answer Posted / nithi

We can design the machines only for rated voltage(insulation
arrangement) & rated current(cooling arrangement,winding
thickness).
we can't predict the power factor while designing the
machine.Because,it is depending upon the load .

This is reason for why transformers & alternators
are rated in KVA.
