5 KVA Greaves Power Diesel Generator

A 5.5 kVA generator is a mid-sized generator that can provide up to 5,500 watts of power at maximum capacity. While this may seem like a lot of power, it is important to understand what a 5.5 kVA generator can run and what its limitations are.Hint: Iron loss on voltage and copper loss of a transformer depends on current. Hence, total transformer heat loss depends on volt-ampere (VA) and independent of phase angle among voltage and current i.e., it is independent of power factor. That is why the rating of the transformer is in kVA and not in kW.
