KVA(Kilovolt-Amphere)

• A diesel generator's KVA (kilovolt-ampere) rating
  indicates the maximum electrical power that the
  generator can produce when operating at full
  capacity.
• A leading diesel generator supplier in Congo, we
  offer generators from 8 kva to 2000 kva.
• KVA is a measure of the apparent power, which is
  the total power that is delivered to an
  electrical system, including both real power
  (measured in watts) and reactive power (measured
  in volt-amperes reactive, or VARs).

• To understand the KVA rating of a diesel
  generator, it's important to first understand the
  difference between real power (kW) and apparent
  power (KVA).
• The KVA of diesel generator in Congo is different
  depending on the use, so we provide generators
  according to the customer's needs.
• Real power refers to the actual power consumed by
  a load, such as an electrical appliance or
  machinery, and is measured in kilowatts (kW).
• Apparent power, on the other hand, is the total
  power delivered to the load, including both real
  power and reactive power.

• The KVA rating of a diesel generator is the
  maximum amount of apparent power that the
  generator can produce.
• This rating takes into account both the real
  power required by the load and any reactive power
  needed to operate the load.
• The KVA rating of a generator is typically
  larger than the kW rating, as the reactive power
  component is included in the KVA rating.
• Our company is one of the few diesel generator
  company in Congo that provides quality generators
  rather than quantity because we place a high
  priority on customer satisfaction.

• It's important to note that the KVA rating of a
  diesel generator does not necessarily indicate
  the actual power output that the generator can
  sustain over time.
• The actual power output of a generator depends
  on a variety of factors, including the load being
  powered, the ambient temperature and altitude,
  and the efficiency of the generator itself.
• In general, you will want to select a generator
  with a KVA rating that is slightly higher than
  the maximum power requirements of your load,
  taking into account factors such as starting
  current and voltage drop.

KWA(Kilowatts)

• KW (kilowatts) is a measure of the real power
  output of a diesel generator.
• It indicates the amount of power that the
  generator can deliver to the load, such as
  electrical appliances or machinery.
• KW is a key specification to consider when
  selecting a diesel generator, as it indicates the
  actual power that will be available for your
  specific application.
• The KW rating of a diesel generator is typically
  lower than the KVA rating, as the KVA rating
  takes into account both the real power (KW) and
  reactive power (KVAR) required by the load.

• The KW rating is a more accurate measure of the
  actual power output of the generator, as it only
  reflects the real power that is consumed by the
  load.
• The main difference between KVA
  (kilovolt-amperes) and KW (kilowatts) is that KVA
  is a measure of apparent power, while KW is a
  measure of real power.
• KVA takes into account both the real power (KW)
  and reactive power (KVAR) required by the load.
• Reactive power is the power that is consumed by
  inductive or capacitive loads, such as motors or
  transformers, and it does not perform any useful
  work.

• Apparent power (KVA) is the total power output
  of the generator, including both real power (KW)
  and reactive power (KVAR), and it represents the
  maximum capacity of the generator.
• KW, on the other hand, is a measure of the real
  power that the generator can produce, and it
  represents the actual power that is used by the
  load, such as electrical appliances or machinery.
• KW is the power that performs useful work, and
  it is the power that is usually specified when
  selecting a generator.

• The importance of KVA (kilovolt-amperes) and KW
  (kilowatts) ratings in diesel generators lies in
  their ability to provide information about the
  capacity and real power output of the generator,
  respectively.
• The KVA rating of a diesel generator is important
  because it indicates the maximum capacity of the
  generator to handle a given load.
• The KW rating of a diesel generator is important
  because it indicates the actual power that the
  generator can deliver to the load.
