A 15kVA alternator is the key electrical component within a generator set that converts mechanical energy from a connected engine into electrical power. The 15kVA rating indicates its maximum apparent power output, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, from providing backup power for a home or small business to powering equipment on a construction or remote work site.
Technical specifications
Power rating: 15 kilovolt-amperes (kVA). This is the apparent power, while the actual usable power in kilowatts (kW) depends on the power factor. For a power factor of 0.8, a 15kVA alternator delivers 12kW of continuous power.
