If generator is 635 KVA what is alternator KVA rating?

635kva


How do you specify the rating of the shunt?

1)may be voltmeter or clipon meter will be connected across the winding. 2)or in motor winding we must find amp current and aramture resistance nd then find the ratings 3)formula is rated kva of motor*1000/base kva for transmission line.


Transformer rating is expressed in?

VA or KVA or MVA


Is the kva rating of a three phase generator per phase or a total of the three phases example is a 3 phase 75 kva generator 25 kva per phase or 75 per phase?

The kV.A (not 'kva') rating is the total apparent power of the machine. So a 75 kV.A machine is 25 kV.A per phase.


How many KVA is required to run 5HP 3 phase motor?

Keeping in mind that there is 746watts per Hp should lead you to the answer. For ex. Power(in KVA) = Voltage (1.73)x CurrentTherefore, if you know the voltage, typically 480Vac, then 150(746) = 480 (1.73) x I150Hp(746w/hp) = Voltage x Current= about 135 amps current. Now you also need to factor in the Power Factor (PF) of the load (150Hp). The power factor depends on the type of load. A motor is mostly Inductive, a heater, or lighting bank is resistive, and capacitive loads aren't that common. Your question is a bit vague. If you'd like to rephrase your answer or send it directly to me, I'd be glad to assist you further. You might also want to check out a site called "Mike Holt's Code Forum'. If you're an EE student, I'm sure the path to your solution is in one of your 'Power' books.

Why you are indicating capacity of transformer in KVA?

transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA

What is the rating in KVA for a desktop computer?

If a device doesn't give its power rating in kVA (or VA), then it can be calculated pretty easily: (volt-amperes) VA = V (voltage) x A (maximum amperage) (kilovolt-amperes) kVA = VA (volt-amperes) / 1000
