8,000 watts = 8 kVA / (the power factor)
If the power factor is 1, then 8 kVa = 8,000 watts.

The term horsepower has several definitions, depending on usage. According to WikiPedia, the Electric Motor usage is 746 watts. One kva (kilo-volt-amp) is 1,000 watts, so you might be able to say that one kva is 746,000 watts. Unfortunately, kva depends on phase angle and, except for a power factor of one (purely resistive), kva is not the same as kw (kilo-watts). Someone else with more knowledge than I will need to enhance this answer.
One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.
Yes, you can use both, but watts is more useful; it provides the total amount of power the generator can output.
Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.
1kva means 1kv per ampere therefore 1 amp flowing and 1 kv deduce to be the product of the two or 1kw
