Why in KVA diesel engine? Why not KW
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Sheik answer is almost correct with some remarks:
Diesel Motor rating is in Horse Power [HP] since this is a
motor. The DG-Diesel Generator -the generator rating- is in
kVA [the actual [active] power depends on p.f. [cosfi] and it
is measured in kW indeed. This power is variable depending on
required –and produced power but the maximum will be for p.f.
=1.Then the kW=kVA .The rated power is the maximum output
power which in indefinite time will not damage the generator.

Answer / raja ganesh
In transformers and generator copper loss is depends on current and core loss is depends on voltage.so it is mentioned in KVA

Answer / sheikh
KVA is called Apparent Power and KVA is called active power
and such type equipment like Generator , Transformers.UPS etc rating shown in KVA.

If current and resistance in a circuit is increased by 20%, what will happen to its voltage drop??
I find that underground strip-armoiured,4core,LT PVC cables in an earthed power distribution sytem are occasionly found in charred condition-with no trace of it except ash. Is this because of no proper earth connection/continuity (giving rising to high armour resistance)in the joint enroute or because of insufficient capability (again due to high armour resistance)of cable-armour to carry fault current or due to neglected /unprotected overloading of the cable or due to high armour currents caused by power thefts where only phase(s) are unauthorisely tapped & at the point of poer consumption earth terminal is established by burring underground a not so good earthing rod (or using an underground water pipe for the purpose)
