a power generator has the following nameplate data (13.6KVA ,400V 19.3A & pf0.8) at the begining when i calculted the current
s=IV so i=34A but the nameplate current was 19.3A whish is = (34/1.73 ) why it was calculated with that way.
 
In 3-phase electrical systems S=sqrt(3)IV,
so I = 13600VA /(sqrt(3) * 400V) = 19.6A
 
you are right . I thank you so mutch.
