Answer / arun kumar.k

Generator is produsing the power supply and it is flow of

AND they have own rating and they have own power factor

In motor we calculating the efficiency
>efficiency it always in watts or workdone
>And WE cant relate kva to the load
LOad it s only carry the kw Because load only utilizing
the power and we want to exepcet the load only efficiency
or Work done
>load is only for power utilizing
