Generator slash rating 1

[areoeepower]

I have seen a generator rating as 60/75 kva or 75/60 kva. The smaller number is referring the overload rating of the generator. My question is "Is there a standard convention”.

What else you read on the generator?

Voltage, frequency, power factor, rpm??
Standby/ Prime?

I suspect it is meant say 60kW/75kvA and 0.8 power factor

75kvA * .8 pf = 60kW.

Or it could be prime rating (lower value) and stand-by rating (higher value). But usually prime rating is 10% lower than the standby rating.

I agree completely rbulsara.
