What do you mean by pf of a generator? Power factor purely
depends on the load (wether inductive, reactive or unity)
then what does the pf mentioned on the generator nameplate
means?

Answer Posted / madhusudhan

Kw= 1.732X Voltage X Current X pf. in these parameters only
current and pf are variable. The current limitation given on
the DG set is at that pf. if pf increases the current will
get decreased for the same KW. so you should monitor the
same pf as mentioned of DG set name plate or else you should
reverse calculate the current limitation at your load pf and
monitor the DG set no to get overloaded.
