You can rate a generator in any multiple you like. It's simply more convenient to express power as, say, 500 MW, rather than as 500 000 kW or as a fraction of a gigawatt. Incidentally, it's...

kilowatts, not kilo watts

megawatts, not mega watts

gigawatts, not giga watts

How many watts of led equals 40 watts of fluorescent?

Watts are a unit of power. So 40 watts of power to an LED are the same as 40 watts of power to a fluorescent. Sometimes LEDs are rated in equivalent watts which is an attempt to relate watts to brightness or lumens. You need to compare lumens and the "temperature" of the bulbs in Kelvin to get the comparison I think you are looking for.


Can you use 20 watts or 30 watts in a fuse?

No, watts are a measure of power while fuses are rated in amperes (amps). To determine the fuse rating, you need to calculate the current in amps by dividing the power in watts by the voltage. Then, choose a fuse that is rated equal to or slightly higher than the calculated current in amps.

Why transformers rated in MVA not in MW?

Transformers are rated in KVA and MVA. The load determines the power factor. It is obvious to multiply the VA with cosine angle to get Watts or Kilo watts. While manufacturing the transformer or at its installation we don't know the load power factor. Hence we could not determine the rating in Watts or kilo watts or Mega watts. We simply note it as VA or KVA. S.Dhanabal
