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

Answer Posted / jeet

Generally our devices losses only depends on voltage and current it does not includes P.f so we take there ratings in MVA or KVA but in power house the power generated and transmitted is depends on P.f also along with V and I.Therefore we keep rating of power house in Kw and aplliences in KVA or MVA.
