Electrical Engineering World Wiring a Brighter Tomorrow!
Answer: Motor rating in kilowatts (kW) represents real power, which is the actual power consumed for mechanical work. Kilovolt-amperes (kVA) would include both real power and reactive power, but for motors, the emphasis is on real power. Reasoning: Real Power vs. Apparent Power: Kilowatts (kW) represent real power, reflecting the …
