A 1 KVA generator can deliver 1000 volts times amps. Now, watts can be calculated by multiplying volts times amps. Therefore, this suggests that a 1KVA generator can deliver a 1000W or 1KW output. The reason that the generator is not quoted in Watts is because most loads do not impose a perfect load. It means that the current can be at its highest at a different time to the voltage being at it's highest. Because of this, the generator cannot be fully efficient and the amount of power delivered is less than the suggested maximum. For more information, it is worth looking up "inductive loads" or "power factor" and look for more detailed explanations. So, to answer the question, there is no simple calculation to convert VA into Watts.

How many atoms does fe have?

If you are simply counting up the formula, it would be 9 atoms. However, this is an ionic compound so it is made of ions, not atoms, and if it's a solid the formula only shows the ratio of ions in a giant structure.

Can you use a car as a backup generator for a house?

creative, and nice. Yes, if you some how rigged it (the wheel) up to a alternator/generator and into a transformer for home supply. you would have to jack the car up, or prop it up somehow, attach a generator by belt or welding, wire the generator to some capacity and then to an output transformer. Any motor can be made into a generator when attached to a power generation source, such as a alternator. DC MOTORS WILL NOT WORK. POLYPHASE INDUCTION MOTORS WILL NOT WORK AS THEY RELY ON TWO INPUT PHASES TO OPERATE AND CONTAIN NO MAGNETS.

What will happen if polarity of dcin rotor in static excitation system are made opposite?

I am tyring to figure this out too. I think you will get no output from the generator but am not 100% sure. My F1 and F2 labels are missing am kind of scared to just guess.

How do you change generator output electrical connections from 460v 3phase plus N to 220v 3phase plus N?

The terminology for the type of connections you describe is, three phase four wire. These changes are made in the generators junction box. In this junction box you will find a series of taps that can be re configured to change the many voltages that the generator can produce.
