why the alternator rating in kva generator in kw.

Answer Posted / p.k.ghosh

We know that for an A/c circuit Kw=Kva*P.f & the load power
factor is unknown to the manufacturer.So the rating of the
alternator is mention by Kva. Now for D.c circuit p.f=1 ,
Hence generator(D.C) is rated as Kv*A*1=Kw.

A commercial Building is designed with 14th floor levels with indoor substation of three phase transformer with rated capacity of 1000 Kva.The transformer delivered 65% of its rated capacity at 0.67 power factor lagging.Because of low power factor, the power customer was penalized and certain cost was charged accordingly based on every point percentage lower than 85%.This situation may repeatedly happen on the succeding energy bills of power customer.The power customer is desired to improve its historical power factor of 0.67 lagging and no further penalty be impose by the local power company on the next bill. Q: Identify the appropriate solution you want to offer to Client?.Justify SCIENTIFICALLY and MATHEMATICALLY the principles behind the solution.
