What Is The Wattage Of A 5kva Generator?

Have you ever wondered “what is the wattage of a 5kva generator?”   At first I was puzzled with the term kva, as oppose the term watts.  Why would the manufacturers use kva instead of watts?

Kva and watts are different term that represents the same thing but for different uses.  When we use the term kva we are basically talking about potential power,  as appose to watts that is referred to as actual power.

Kva = volts x amps / 1000 and Kw which represents watts is volts x amps x power factor / 1000.  So a 5 kva generator is equivalent to about 5000 watts.

I was searching on the Internet one day for a type of calculator to calculator kva into watts.  Here is the link to a website that has a build in calculator to assist in calculating kva to watts.  This is a very neat tool that I use from time to time. The wattage calculator sites sometimes take a few minutes to load, so be patient.
