Why alternators are rated in KVA?

Answer Posted / shariff

Transformers or alternators are rated in kvA not in kw/MW
bcoz its losses like hystersis or eddy current or copper
losses are depend upon the frequency or current non of them
on the pf. There is no consideration of pf for this machines
hence they are rated in kvA's.
