) why transformer cannot rotate though the principle behind induction motor is similar to a transfor..

Answer / siva swarup

cool,
an induction motor's rotor is compared as the short
circuited secondary of a transformer. If rotor is blocked
the magnetizing current will increase and saturates
resulting burning of stator.

now why transformer doesnt rotate
1. the secondary of a transformer is not shorted, although
it is shorted through load, the induction is not generated
by synchronously rotating mmf
2. in order to rotate, it require a synchronously rotating mmf
which is not present
3. Rotor is rigid, i.e. its not allowed to move or rotate
(no Bearing suspension provided)

Answer / bibek mukherjee

though the basic principle behind induction motor is similar
to a transformer but the reason to use a transformer is to
step up or down the voltage level in desired lvl. which is
different for a Induction Motor.
Moreover the losses for a rotating unit will
increase....efficiency will decrease...out put will come
down...for a transformer it is not desired...

i have one source transformer with the capacity of 50KVA, connected with two loads 10kw and second one is 15kw.. how can i calculate first load in KVA and second one in KVA .. because Kva rating, power factor rating of of transformer is different from the load… there must be some way to calculate load KVA rating and power factor….
