160 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%.Kilovolt-amperes (kVA) measure the apparent power. This includes real power (kW), but also reactive power drawn by devices like motors and transformers. Reactive power is not consumed, and instead it cycles between the power source and the load. Power factor is the ratio between real and apparent power. This 50 KVA 3 Phase generator allows for greater electrical loads is particularly suited for larger loads found in industrial and commercial use as well as backup for offices buildings or homes. Providing either prime power or standby/back-up power sources and an estimated 25Hr run time. kW is the amount of 'actual power' an electrical system has. This shows you how much power is being converted into useful, working output. kVA, on the other hand is the measure of 'apparent' power. If kW is how much power you can work with, kVA tells you how much is being used in the system overall.
