Good point. The most likely reason to get distorted output voltage from a generator is to connect a load with distorted current waveform.The output should be a good sine wave already - it's made by a rotating generator.
munzir, you probably can't improve the output in any way. It's more a case of knowing what you have...
The output should be a good sine wave already - it's made by a rotating generator. It might get a little messed up if you overload it due to slowing of the rotational speed within a single revolution, but not much.
Are you aware that the generator's KVA rating is not the same as KW? If running inductive loads, like fluorescent tube ballasts, check the power factor.
Cheap home generators will be 'optimistically' rated and probably will start to struggle even somewhat below their rated output. Mine do. The voltage will drop quite a lot under load, along with the frequency getting a little lower and more erratic.
Please tell us what kind of generator it is and what it's ratings are. Without knowing what you are starting with it's a bit difficult to advise on how to improve it!

Are K.W & KVA the units of electrical output power ?
Actually a bad example because the power factor of an electrical stove will be rather surely 1.0, unless you have an electronical induction cooker (with much worse power factor).Given: We have a electrical stove that draws 6.0 amps.
220 * 6.0 = 1320 VA 1320 VA * .85 = 1122 1122 / 1000 = 1.122 kW
