Answer / sajid hussain
kw is the true power which is consumed in the circuit while the KVA is the product of rms value of the voltage and current
known as apparent power.
Kw= v*i*cosA/1000 1- Phase
Kw= Sqrt3*v*i*cosA/1000 3- Phase
KVA = KW/CosA
KVA=VA/1000
Here Cos A = Power factor
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 1 No |
KW=VIcosine of p.f.angle=Active power
KVA=VI=Apparent power
KVAR=VI sine of p.f. nagle
VIcosine of p.f.angle
So p.f.= _______________________
Apparent power

Answer / ankit
KW is power of rating of machine which is depend of self power factor
and KVA is power of rating of any machine which is depend of load's pawer facor
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 2 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / arulkumaran
KW = POWER FACTOR CONSUMED,
(E.G) Electrical loads, Generator.
KVA = NOT CONSUMED THE POWER FACTOR,
(E.G) Transformer.
KVA = KW / Power factor.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / annoo kumar prajapati
KW is energy consumed by circuit and KVA is actual suply like (220V, 440V) TO the circuit.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / katoch
kw is the active power while kva is the reactive power.
kw = kva/power factor of system
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 6 Yes | 12 No |
Answer / dev singh
KVA = KW * CosA
Here Cos A = Power factor
which is depend upon load factor
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 2 Yes | 9 No |
During Testing of Maintenance Free Earthing, How deep should be the Spikes of Earth Test Meter should be inserted in the soil(one spike is 15 Meter & Other spike is 30 Mtrs away from the Main Earth Electrode. Because, recently, we observed that when spike is inserted 3-4 Inch in the earth- results are better, If spike is inserted 1 feet deep than results are increasing.
