A 100kW Generator Connected With A Load Of 50kW

what if we load a generator of capacity 100kw with 50kw load??? i mean will it supply 100kw or 50 kw??...if it supply 100kw then where is the rest 50 kw go because the load is only 50kw??

    if it is so..then wont it be too unefficient ??..its not like that...if we only use 10kw of 100kw then u acc to u 90% is dissipated in the form of heat...

    it will only produce only 50kW...

    no generator is loaded more than 70% of its maximum capacity at all
    so there is no losses in any form

    based on load only a generator will generate power if it is 50kW load power generated is 50kW only plus some little value to compensate the line losses and other losses

    obviously.... remaining voltage will not be used .... hence a large number of load is conneted while usin generator.....

    the large used is also never larger than 70 - 80 % of the maximum load supplied by the generator

    this precaution is always taken to prevent low voltage scenarios from occuring

    No such losses occur

    As the watt reading is always dependant on current produced and current produced depends on the load attached to the generator
