Generator slash rating
Generator slash rating
(OP)
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”.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Generator slash rating
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.
