Kilowatts (kW) measure real power that actually does work, like turning a motor, while kilovolt-amps (kVA) include both that and reactive power that sustains magnetic fields but isn't used. The ratio between them is power factor, so a 10 kVA generator might only deliver 8 kW if the load's inefficient.
