generaly all power generating devices is expressed in KVA
or MVA then why power ststion is expressed in MW

Answer Posted / b.prakash.

KVA meanas apparent power it depends on power factor if
power factor is high the efficiency of system also high.
But in MW it true power means (load) if u r using a 2kw
heater then it will consume 2 kw. but in KVA suppose for ex.
transformer capacity is 1000kva & PF is 0.8 means we can
use only 80% of the total kva & it depends on the load also
that which type of load u r using. if u r using, capacitive
load or resistance load then the PF will be high. But if u
r using Inductive load then the PF will be less.

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks

for 100 HP Induction motor service factor is 1.2(SF) we placed a VFD at the motor side load is balance with 0.3 Amp's Phase to Phase but at incoming of VFD load is un-balance with 10 to 20 Amp's what will be cause of load un balance
