    This is homework, and should be handled of in the homework department.

    But I'll give you some hints to answer your own question :

    "i have one generator having 250kva capacity.i want to connect the existing load with this generator ,existing load is 140kw.and also tell me how i have share the load equally"

    A 250 KVA generator provides that power over 3 phases.
    Your load has to be powered from these 3 phases.

    The only way to share the load equally is over the 3 phases of the generator.

    So what is your load?
    How is this load currently spread over 3 phases?
    And how would you spread the load if it has to be shared equally?

    Success !

    :)

    Credendovidis:

    Yep, you read into the problem. 3 phase is a good assumption. Homework is too. As another answer, the 140 kW load should have already been distributed equally among the phases, so no adjustment is necessary.

    PS: "W" as in Watts should be capitalized because it's a proper name. "A", for Ampere should also for the same reason.

    So should be "V" (not "v") in kVA

    Define the load sharing of generator

    Eample: You can share the Air conditioning load with cooking, but you may not be able to share a "sump pump" load. You may be able to share multiple refrigerator/freezer loads, at least manually.
