how kva rating of transformer is calculated.
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
My dear friends,
First of all i want to introduce myself as transformer engr
having 12 years of experience in transformer field. Now in
reply of your question, if u r asking about Name Plate of
transformer, VA = 1.732 * V * Amp
Suppose In Name Plate,
HV Volts mentioned 11000 V, HV rated current mentioned 5.25
Amp, Than Transformer capacity is
1.732 * 11000 * 5.25 = 100023 VA = 100 KVA.
In the same name plate,
LV Volts mentioned 433 V, LV rated current mentioned 133.34
Amp, So Transformer capacity is
1.732 * 433 * 133.34 = 99999 VA = 100 KVA.
If you are asking about to decide transformer capacity, u
hv to calculate your total load + future expansion load.
Than you can take decision about ur required transformer
capacity.

the kva rating can be determined using the formula
kva=power supplied(in KW)/power factor.
so if the transformer is feeding a load of 100MW industrial
load. then the KVA rating of transformer to be used has to be
100/.85=117.647mva
we haver assumed the power factor for industrial load to be .85

the kva of an transformer also depends on form factors.
the usage of kva 11,33,66kva all depends on form factor
as 1.11.

First Calculate Kw Load of the plant or system which is connected to that transformer.Load is not directly calculated but calculated accordingly as per plant requirement like Continuous,Intermittent & Standby. After calculating the total load of the System in Kw.For calculate KVA of the transformer we use the Formula
KVA Load of the Tranformer - Total Plant Load Connected to transformer ( In Kw) / Power Factor
For Easy calculation ,we take PF value as 0.8.

Answer / saravanakumar
This is the formulae for that, KVA=KW/P.F (At the time of
load calculations we should considered the power factor is
0.8 only.)
Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 10 No |
it is very simple by knowing the formula is kva=kw/pf then
applying the formula where kw=1oo thne pf is normaly is
0.85
therefore kva=100/0.85
117.647M VA
