Nevertheless, a Diesel generator is providing backup power to lots of industries and construction Yeah ! you want to know about the Technical Specification of diesel generators.
Understanding the specification is one of the crucial ones and want to know about this before buying the diesel generator and selecting which KVA and generator suit your business.
What Is Kva?
There are some technical terms in diesel generators and it can be so difficult to understand.kVA is the regular term in generator specification.KVA is the indication of the power output.What Is Kva on the Generator?
Typically, the higher KVA rating produces more power for the diesel generator. KVA is 1000 volt-amps. When a voltage is multiplied to get 1000 volt-amps. The power that moves electrons around a circuit by the amps. The kilovolt-amps measure is called the apparent power of a diesel generator. This is completely different from kilowatts (kW) that measure true power. There is a major difference between the two in the power factor (PF).Multiplying the Power Factor with KW Can Get a Value of Kva.
Usually, PF is 1 for single-phase diesel generators and three-phase diesel generator kVA is the same as kW, the PF is normally 0.8. which means a 20kVA three-phase diesel generator has a power of 16kW (20 x 0.8-16).The Kva into KW Formula:
- Apparent power (kVA) x power factor (pf) = actual power (kW)
- The formula for converting kW into kVA is:
- The formula for converting kVA into kW is:
