1010 Kva Diesel Generator

Kilovolt-amperes (kVA) measures the apparent power of the diesel generator. The power factor (PF) is the ratio between real power and apparent power. For example, if a building consumes 1900 kW and 2000 kVA, the power factor is ~90%Essentially, the higher the kVA rating, the more power the generator produces. A kVA is 1,000 volt-amps. It's what you get when you multiply the voltage (the force that moves electrons around a circuit) by the amps (electrical current). Kilovolt-amps measure what's called the 'apparent power' of a generator. Watts and kilovolt-amps (kVA) are both measures of power. Watts measure real power while kVA measures apparent power. In most cases, there will be some amount of apparent power that does no real work and is thus not real power. Watts and kilovolt-amps (kVA) are both measures of power.
