Why DG set rating in KVA

Answer Posted / farhan

A generator set is the combination of and engine to create
power and
an alternator to change that power into electricity.

The engine turns a shaft that in turn is connected to the
alternator
This turning of the alternator creates the electrical power.
As there are different types of power all over the world,
different generator sets are built to create different
forms of electrical power.

DG Sets are the Sources which provides power NOT CONSUMING
the power,so KVA determines how much amount of power could
be genertaed from a specific DG Set in short how much the
DG set is capable of creating Amperes at certain voltage
level

For Motors....they are the power consuming devices act as a
resistive/condutive/indudtive load where reactive power is
playing part.....
