This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

1000 MVA

Rotating field type alternators are commonly used for high power generation applications. While they can be designed for various power ratings, their prevalent use lies in the higher range due to their inherent design characteristics. Smaller alternators often utilize different designs for cost-effectiveness and efficiency considerations at lower power levels.

Therefore, the statement "Rotating field type alternator is generally used for rating of up to _______" is best completed with a high power rating. Among the options provided, 1000 MVA (Mega Volt-Ampere) represents the largest power rating.

Correct Answer: 1000 MVA

The other options (100 KVA, 250 KVA, and 1000 VA) represent significantly lower power ratings and are not typical applications where rotating field type alternators are predominantly employed.
