Why alternators are rated in KVA?

Answer Posted / oni

cu loss of transformer/alternator depends on current and iron loss on voltage.Hence total loss depends on volt-ampere(VA) and not phase angle between voltage and current that means it is independent of load power factor. That is why rating of transformer/ alternator is in KVA and not in KW.
