What power does a 30 kW generator give?

Alexander asks:
Generator with a rated power of 30 kW. Does this mean that at the maximum load of the consumer, he will give him 30 kW / h?
The answer to the question:
Hello! This means that the rated power that it can give is 30 kW, if you, of course, indicated exactly the RATED power. Yes, this means that it can give out 30 kW per hour, and per minute, and per day, etc. But why convert kilowatts to kilowatt hours?

In addition, you initially do not quite correctly pose the question. Generator power is indicated in volt-amperes (VA), rather than in watts. You should also take into account that you need to look at the technical documentation (instructions), then you will find out what specific continuous power can load your generator. Often there are recommendations that generators use 75% of its rated power. Leave a margin of 25-30%.
