Answer / gaurav tripathi
in the transformer there are two losses,core loss and 'cu'
loss ,core loss depends on voltage and 'cu' loss depends on
current hence rating of transformer is on KVA not on KW

Answer / abhishek nigam,akshay kumar si
actually rating of the machine (kva or kw) depends upon the
power factor since the load power factor to which
transformer is supplying power is not known , it may be
capacitive ,inductive , or resistive that is why its rating
is in kva and not in kw

Answer / manoj
Actually the
rating of a
transformer is
limited by
temperature .here
temperature of a
transformer
increases by
losses that is
core and copper
losses these
losses depends
on the voltare
and current but
almost
indepedent of
power factor .so
it is rated in
kva

Answer / prasanth p.s
copper loss depend on current and core loss depend on voltage
there for total loss depend on voltage and current not on powerfactor .in other equpment like motor total loss depend on
powerfactor ie kw=(v*i*pf)/1000 .there for motor rated in kW.but tranformer rated in kVA because kVA=(v*i)/1000

Answer / maheshbabu-calicut
the capacity of a transformer depends on the amount of
secondary current,it can deliver safely.(more kw at good pf
and lower at poor pf)

A power transformer 4MVA/11KV/0.415Kv has been out of use in 12years. what maintenance actions/test need to be carried out before energizing.
X is a uniformly distributed random variable that takes values betweeen 0 and 1.The value of E {X3}(x cube) will be.
how ct burden,magnetising current,ratio and knee point voltage are related & derived
What is fault level? How can be calculate the fault level?
why in generating station generation voltage is 11 kv
why can't we increase the voltage by increasing the field voltage in order to get higher voltage.so that we can eliminate step up transformer
IN induction motor pf is increased using capacitors.what will be the effect on motor and system when very large capacitor is accidently installed and pf goes leading.
What are the material used for resistor?
While converting delta into star or star into delta ,the three values of resistances remains unchanged .Find out the value?Let In star R1=x;r2=x;R3=x On converting into delta,R12=x;R23=x;R31=x Find the value of x
