    Generator loadbank calculations

    When using a purely resistive loadbank how do you calculate the load current. This is to load check lets say a 100KVA generator at 0.8 powerfactor. this is how i thought it was done kva = kw/pf therefore if the powerfactor was at unity then 100kva = 100kw therfore the generator would be...
