There are two concerns here regarding loading on Transformers of this size. First is the difference between MVA and MW. MW is just real power -- watts. MVA is total power which includes real power (MW) and reactive power (MVAR).---

How many mega volt ampere are there in a 1 mega watt generator?

In a 1 megawatt (MW) generator, the unit of power is given in terms of megawatts, which represents one million watts. A megavolt-ampere (MVA) is a unit of apparent power equal to one million volt-amperes. Therefore, in a 1 MW generator, the apparent power rating would also be 1 MVA, as the apparent power rating is typically equal to the real power rating in a generator with a power factor of 1.


How do you define the synchronous generator capability limiters?

SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR CAPABILITY LIMITTsynchronous generator capability limiters are as follows 1.MVA or armature current limit of generator: this depends on the cooling system of generator so that temperature rise in generator is limited to safe value.depending on cooling system effectiveness and temperature limit for the insulation used in generator, MVA limit is decided.2.MW limit: this is determined by the power output capacity of prime mover to which generator is connected.3.rotor angle limit: this is related to stability of generator which is synchronised to the grid.ideally this could be 90 degree, but in practice this is limited to70 degree so as to have better stability margin in transient and dynamic condition.the generator falls out of synchronism in trasient condition if rotor angle is close to 90 degree.4. rotor current limit: the field winding placed on rotor has got limited current carrying capacity, beyond which it may burn .so this limit is used.all these limitters make capability curve of g generator within which the generators operates safelyr. k.niranjanemail id: rkniranjan@yahoo.com


What does mva mean in electrical terms?

MVA is the apparent power. MVA=( MW+ MVAr)1/2


What is mva?

In electrical engineering it can be millivolt amperes, unless it's MVA then it is megavolt amperes. Such as in the use of large transformers.


A transmission line has 30 mw and 40 mvar flowing what is the mva flow on the circuit?

MVA= square root of (MW2 + MVAR2 )

Why DAM capacity in MW and generator in MVA?

Easy, you don't sell MVAh, you sell MWh. MVA is used in rating generators because it combines Watts and vars. MW is used to let you know what kind of money you can make, since you also are probably wanting to produce vars in order to support your grid.
