    What is 10 KW generator, I get confused if it is delivering power at 215 volts 😔, and producing voltage at 1200 volts internally 😔 😔 and actually company rated 10 KW. Please help me solve this internal mess.

    Generally power is measured in Watts.

    So power P = VICos@

    V = Voltage in Volts , I = Current in Amps. Cos@ = power factor.

    Be more clear for a clear answer.

    KW means x 1000 Watts = Current x Voltage,and cos@ as well but it is normally 1, for AC power.

    Well My problem is that when a person design a generator, he is not sure how much power output it will give, like for example I have seen generators which design 1200 volts or 240 volts also, so how to calculate the power requirement of my home or factory and make the generator suitable for it. how to adjust volts and amps to make it suitable for every device. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Please help. Secondly if my factory power requirement is 150 kw then can i combine the generators together to match the output requirement. Thanks in advance.

    Hey Saurav I think you got confused buddy , since if power factor is generally 1 then there will be very less losses but that's not the case !!
