Yes, if the power factor (cosine of the phase-angle between voltage and current)

is ' 1 '. In order for that to be true, the total load impedances on the line have to

be pure resistive, with zero reactance.

All of this stuff applies only on an AC line. On a DC line, voltage and current are

always in phase, the power factor is 1, and KVA = KW .

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Is 6.5kW greater generator than 6.5 kva generator?

Yes of cours1 kw =1.25 kva wich mean6.5 kw =8.12 kvaif you have generator 8.12 kva it give you 6.5 kw=============================Answer #2:1 kw does not necessarily = 1.25 kvaThe relationship between KW and KVA depends on the nature of the load you'repowering, and is called the "power factor". It describes how closely the voltageand current peaks coincide in time. If the load has any inductive or capacitxivereactance, then the voltage and current waveforms become separated in time.The "KVA" is the product of the full voltage and full current without regard fortheir "phase difference", but the "real" power in KW is the KVA multiplied by thecosine of the phase angle. So if there's any inductance or capacitance present,then the KW is less than the KVA. But if the load is pure resistive, then thevoltage and current on the line are in phase, the angle between them is zero,and the KW and KVA are equal.When everything is just exactly perfect, and there is no reactance on the load orthe line, then your 6.5 KVA generator can just exactly supply 6.5 KW of load, withnothing to spare. More commonly, of course, a generator with somewhat morethan 6.5 KVA capacity is required in order to supply 6.5 KW of 'real' power.


In single phase 1 TR equals how many KW?

1TR = 3.5KW in Single phase and 1.2KW in 3-phase


What does 6 kw mean?

6 kw means "six kilowatts" or 6,000 watts. That in turn means "6,000 joules of energy every second".
