why is the rating of transformer done in kva and not in kw.

Answer Posted / beau

because transformer capacity takes care of both real power
consumed by resistive loads and reactive power in inductive
and capacitive loads such as motors and the transformer's
windings inductive reactance(Apparent power KVA).

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com
