Best Answer

as while designing alternator we have to consider two ckt. i.e. electrical ckt.& magnetic ckt. and electrical ckt.is designing by considering current & magnetic by volt.thats why rating is 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


How can you calculate the rating of generator to connect with ATS 3Ph 600A 600V?

Sir, The rating of ac generator is always calculated in KVA.So rating of generator as asked in your question is 360 KVA Sir, The rating of ac generator is always calculated in KVA.So rating of generator as asked in your question is 360 KVA


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.


When the voltage is increased or decreased what effect does it have on the KVA rating?

Usually increase will cause the KVA levels to come up, especially when you have a decent amperage...

Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?

Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.
