The power √3
VL IL Cos φ delivered by the alternator for the same value of current, depends
upon p.f. (Power Factor=Cos φ) of the load. But the alternator conductors are
calculated for a definite current and the insulation at magnetic system are
designed for a definite voltage independent of p.f. (Cos φ) of the load. For
this reason apparent power measured in kVA is regarded as the rated power of
the alternator.
