What is the meaning of kVA for a generator?

• Kilo-volt ampere (kVA) is a unit of apparent
  power.
• This unit is relatively unknown outside the
  diesel generator industry.
• kVA is an electrical term used to describe the
  amount of electrical power that a meter can feed
  to a building or site.
• Kilowatt (kW) is the unit most commonly used and
  is conveys real power, while kVA conveys apparent
  power.
• The basic difference is the power factor (usually
  0.8).

What is the meaning of kVA for a generator?

• kVA x Power factor (typically 0.8) kW.
• A 10 kVA generator can handle a power load of 8
  kW.
• To be safe, you should expect the generator to
  handle a power load of about 4 kW of power
  efficiently.
• You can definitely increase the load, but the
  generator will trip if the power exceeds 8kW.
• If you are looking to buy a generator, I would
  recommend you consult an expert to have a clear
  ide.
