WHY THE TRANSFORMER VALUE MEASURES IN KVA INSTEAD OF KW...

Answer / virendra joshi

Meenakshi my view is also very much in line with you said
but addition to above i like to add that the transformet or
a generator are a source and are designed for the load
according to the characteristic & they have nothing to do
with the power factor . As the power factor is not counted
they rated in KVA ( Because KW = KVA x PF vise versa KVA =
KW/PF ) Please correct if something more can be added.....

WHY THE TRANSFORMER VALUE MEASURES IN KVA INSTEAD OF KW...

Answer / meenakshi

any device that acts as a source vil be rated in kva,n

not becoz of copper loss n iron loss stories as mentioned
in some books.coz when i answered like this, i was told
wrong.if any improved answer, plz notify me.
