Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / fahad

bcoz the power factor of load is not known during the
manufacturing, this is also done during load calculation.
For reference you can see a indian book " B.L Theraja -
Electrical Technology" ....

Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / amit

bcoz iron losses depdens on voltage and copper losses
depends on current that's why transformer rated in KVA

Is This Answer Correct ?    7 Yes 3 No

Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / thanigai1984

Transformer is not consider the power factor so its
capacity is in KVA

Is This Answer Correct ?    7 Yes 7 No

Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / mathivanan k

the pf will be indipendent to the trf,the pf only act at
load equipment side only
so the trf is not load
and it's losses depending copper&coreloss then only it is
mention in VA it is bulk amount so KVA

Is This Answer Correct ?    1 Yes 1 No

Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / mintu kr. pandit

Mainly reason for no-load current consumption of transformer in losses hysteresis loss and eddy current loss.

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 1 No

Why transformer called by KVA?..

Answer / realas

Because the flowing of current in secondary winding is
without/no losses so the apparent power is zero. Hence, the
transformer may call either by KVA or KW since it is equal.

7 Answers   L&T,


There are two nos of 33Kv/11Kv 5MVA transformers conecting through HT cable from substation having metering at substation itself.One transformer used at a time another remains stand by.Further 11 nos of 11Kv/440V transformers are attached on it and each transformer is having its own Power factor correction panel.Now one 33/11Kv transformer at no load condition/Stand by condition is having power factor in leading side upto 0.21 and while when another tranformer at same situation have power factor in lagging 0.42. Now one thing is clear that transformer one is having 1.5 Km long 33kv cable due to that PF goes in leading side and another is having only 250 mtr length remains him lagging. Now i want to know that how i can maintain the Power factor at no load/ stand by position though both are behaving in seperate manner.
