How to convert diesel generator power from KVA to kW? There is a clear difference between the kW and KVA of a diesel generator set. Typically, kVA will be greater than kilowatts. Kilowatts are based on active power, while kVA refers to capacity and apparent power.
1kVA=0.8kw. A kilowatt refers to a kilowatt and is a unit of power. In the early stages, it was an electrical powerplant. The unit of kVA is kVA. It is a unit based on the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers, motors, etc. In an AC circuit, current voltage (kV) × current (a) = capacity (kVA). The capacity of the transformer is expressed in kVA.
KVA is obviously different from kW, and they function differently
1. The kilowatt is an early unit of electricity that has a tendency to expand to units of electricity throughout the physical industry. When it comes to electricity, kilowatt hours and degrees Celsius are exactly the same.
2. KVA is the apparent power, which refers to the equipment capacity (usually the transformer); the capacity specified on the transformer nameplate is the rated capacity. It is based on a tap control switch located in the main tap. It is the product of rated no-load current, voltage, rated current and the corresponding phase factor.
Conversion method between 1 and 1 kilowatt = 1000 watts = 1000 joules/second; 1 kilowatt = 1000 Newton meters/second (Newton meters/second); 1 kilowatt = 0.239 kcal/second (kcal/second); 1 kilowatt = 1.36 hp.
2. Transformer capacity s (kVA)/1.732/0.4 (kV) = low-voltage side current (a), which is simply 1.4434s (a). The calculation result can be directly multiplied by 1.5. (ie, the rated current of the transformer is obtained by directly multiplying the KVA capacity of the transformer by 1.443 or 1.445)
