why transformer rating is in KVA?..

Answer / imran qureshi

Rating of any electric equipment gives information about
the maximum limit of parameters upto which the losses are
considerable and not affect its operation.
In a transformer, the effecting parameters
are voltage and current only and not frequency.Because
operating frequency in a transformer is constant.
Core loss is due to the voltage and copper
loss is due to current.
KVA=1000*voltage*current
while, KW =1000*voltage*curret*power factor
(power factor depends on frequency)

why transformer rating is in KVA?..

Answer / ashish kumar

Kw = 1000*v* I* Pf
KVA = 1000* v* I

here the only difference is power factor.and power factor
dedends upon nature of load i.e. weither the load is
resistive, inductive or capacitive..................becouse
the nature of the load is not pre known to us that is why
the power factor is not predetermined that is why we rate
transformers and diesel generators in KVA.

why transformer rating is in KVA?..

Answer / sandeep

In transformer
frequency is constant
d formula for
KVA=1000*Voltage*curent
and
kw=1000*voltage*current*power
factor the power factor
depends on frequency
but the frequency is
constant in transformer

why transformer rating is in KVA?..

Answer / anil

as transformer is a appliance used to transform the
electrical parameter like Voltage and current. power factor
is not included while calculating rating of transformer.
