When using a resistive load bank to test a generator do you load it to the kW or the kVA?

When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.

When testing a 3 phase generator with a pure resistive load bank why do you sometimes get different amperages like 10 to 20 amps different on a 60KW unit?
Either the load is changing or there is something wrong with the testing method or there is no voltage regulation and the voltage is varying wildly.
Can a 400 kw generator handle a 460 kw load?
Since the breaker that is installed on the generator set will be sized to the output of the 30 kW generator, the load will stay connected until the thermal trip of the breaker trips the load off line. This will be in the matter of seconds before it happens. To handle a 75 kW load and depending if it is an inductive or a resistive load you will need at least a 80 to 100 kW generator.
When you need to install permanent load bank for generators?
A load bank might be permanently installed when the generator has a large generating capacity and the connected load is very light.
How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?
Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.
Is a geyser a inductive load?
No, a geyser is a resistive load.
When using an external resistive load bank to test an engine driven generator do you load it to kVA or KW?
It does not matter, when testing a generator with a resistive load bank, if you load it to kVA or KW. For a resitive load, i.e. non-reactive load, the power factor is one, so kVA and kW are the same.

Is computer is Resistive load?
It is resistive much load
Do air conditioners use resistive load or inductive load?
resistive loadAnswerIf the current is driving a motor, then the load is resistive-inductive.
