Why is the generator rating always in kVA and motor rating
in kW?

Answer Posted / jayesh pillai

the load on generator or transformer is not known so its
power factor is also unknown
moreover active losses occuring in transformer is very low

due to these reasons generator or transformer are having
rating in kva and motor is in kw
