Explain why machinery used on a.c supply is usually rated
in KVA instead of KW?

Answer Posted / sugankumar

in ac machines the iron loss is depends on voltage(V)...
and the cu loss depends on current(I).... so the total
power depends on KVA.... in DC the voltage and current
depends on cu loss only so the DC power is calculated in
KW......
