A volt ampere (symbol: V.A) is the unit of measurement for the apparent power of a load connected to an AC supply. Apparent power is the product of the supply voltage and the load current. Apparent power is the vector sum of a load's true power (measured in watts) and reactive power(measured in reactive volt amperes). '15 kV.A', means 15 000 V.A.
Further explanation
In the descriptive name "kVA", k = 1000 and VA = volt.amperes.
Volts x amps = volt.amperes, for which there is an international standard unit named the watt.
Therefore 15 kVA is 15 000 volt.amperes which, for a purely resistive load, can also be stated as 15 kilowatts.
If the distribution voltage and type is known, you can then calculate the current in amps that will flow at that power rating if the load is purely resistive i.e. if the power factor is 1.
If the power factor (pf) is less than 1 then, because
watts = volts x amps x pf
then, at a given service voltage, more current must flow to produce the same apparent power as you would get with a purely resistive load.

How many amps in 15KVA circuit at 440 volts?
To calculate the amperage in a 15kVA circuit at 440 volts, you can use the formula: Amperage = Power (kVA) / Voltage (V) * 1000. Plugging in the values, you get: Amperage = 15 / 440 * 1000 ≈ 34.09 amps.
How much fuel does a 15KVA diesel generator consume per hour?
On an average load on a 15 kc DG is about 4 littered of diesel per hour.
What will happen if water gets mix with diesel in 15kva generator?
Generator will not run or miss very badly. Drain all the fuel out and drain the lines. Replace the fuel filter and fill it up with Diesel.

1 12hp motor takes what kva?
12HP is approximately 10.8 KVA. You would want to use a 15KVA transformer to supply this motor. KW = HP * .75 KVA = KW * 1.2 (These formulas are approximate)
What capacity in kva diesel generator is required to run a 3 phase 20hp compressor?
A 20 hp piston motor compressor at 208/230v appx. 50 amp running, and 100 amp locked rotor current, requiring 70 amp heaters. A rotary screw will demand apprx. 20% greater locked rotor, but about the same running, and perhaps 80 amp heaters. Halve most all for 460/480v. A 12 - 15kva generator should suffice. If the budget will sustain, go for a 25kva.
