If 2kw generator is supplied to 10 ampere load how much will be its power factor?

The 10 A in the load includes the real power and the reactive power, if it is a single phase 120 V generator it can supply 16.67 A; that means a 2000 KW load at a power factor of 1.00, of for example a 1600 W load at a power factor of 0.80, in both cases the output current of the generator will be 16.67 Ampers, it is the same with the 10 A load, the power factor is included in the supplied current.

How many mega volt ampere are there in a 1 mega watt generator?
MVA(Mega volt ampere) is the cos component of MW. So one should know the power factor of the system for conversion from MVA to MW.
How many kw equals 1 kva in single phase generator if the power factor is one with 220 volt?
I think you mean 'kW' (kilowatt) and 'kV.A' (kilovolt ampere). If the power factor is unity (1), then the number of kilowatts will be exactly the same as the number of kilovolt amperes -regardless of the supply voltage.
What is the power factor of AC generator when the reactive power is equal to zero?
Per factor is 1 when reactive power is zero.
Can we improve generator power factor for increasing active power?
The 0.8 Power Factor provided by generator manufacturers is not the load power factor, but it is the nominal power factor used to calculate the kW output of an engine to supply the power for a particular alternator kVA output. Alternators are therefore designed to supply their rated kVA at 0.8 lagging power factor.
What is meant by Generator P.f?
the cosine of the angle between voltage and current of generator is called power factor (pf) of generator.
If power factor is 8 then how many ampere there will be in each phase of a 250 kva transformer?
The power factor is only taken into consideration when the Kilowatts of a transformer is used.
What is the function of capacitor in an electric generator?
In an electric generator, the function of a capacitor is to provide reactive power and improve the power factor of the generator. When a generator is connected to a load, the load may have a combination of resistive, inductive, and capacitive components. Inductive loads can cause the power factor of the generator to decrease, resulting in lower efficiency and voltage regulation. By adding a capacitor in parallel with the generator, the reactive power generated by the capacitor can offset the reactive power of the inductive load, leading to improved power factor correction. This helps to enhance the efficiency of power transfer and stabilizes the voltage. The capacitor absorbs and supplies reactive power, reducing the strain on the generator and ensuring a steady and efficient supply of electrical energy.
Why kva written on generator?
because the generator generate apparent power in kilos and it is written as ( kilo volt ampere OR KVA) it is the combination of active and reactive powers where active will be used by the consumers and the reactive will come back to the generator.
What does a conductor do in a dc generator?
It is a conductor, it conducts the electric current generated to the load that is being supplied with power.
How many kilowats are in 1 amp?
Watts (or kilowatts) and amperes are used to measure different things. Watts is a unit of power; ampere is a unit of current. The relationship (for direct current) is: watt = ampere x volt For AC, the relationship is a bit more complicated: watt = ampere x volt x power factor However, the power factor is often close to one.
What is 80 percent load of 100kilowatts at 220 volts generator?
-- 80% of 100 kilowatts = 80 kilowatts-- Ignoring the power factor, 80 kilowatts is supplied from a 220-volt sourcewhen the current is 3637/11Amperes. (rounded)
Is power factor defined as volt amps divided by apparent power?
No. The volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of measurement of apparent power. Power factor is true power (expressed in watts) divided by apparent power (expressed in volt amperes).
