why the transformer ratings in kva or mva?

Answer / murali290
For any device the rating is given based on the losses occur
in it (loss is nothing but heat).In transformer 2 types of
losses occur 1.core losses: which depends on V &
2.cu losses: which depends on I only
but no losses depends on p.f.
therefore trasformer rating proportional to VI or VA
for large transformers the rating in kilo or mega ,hence
KVA or MVA

Answer / m.anand
copper loss and iron loss depends only on current and
voltage there is no phase angle involved in between voltage
and current.so powerfactor is not factor affecting
transformer rating ...
hence transformer ratings are in KVA

Answer / jd
Since we don't know the type of load that the transformer would be bearing in future. thus the manufacturer specifies its rating in KVA or MVA

Answer / gopalakrishna
transformer ratting are always in KVA or MVA why because
transformer iron losses are depen upon current, and copper
losses are depending upon voltage hence the rattings of the
trans former rattings are in 'kva'

What should be distance required in between two phase of HT cionductors in open area??????
For polarity test on a 11/3.3kV 2.5MVA delta-star Unit Auxiliary transformer,415V 3-phase supply was applied at the HV. Connection between Aa was made with a 2.5mm cable. As soon as power was switched on the cable caught fire and burnt. This test was then abandoned. It is noteworthy to say that a similar cable was also used in a similar transformer for the same. The cable did not burn and test was successfully completed with good result. What is wrong? Please, help me out.
