Why a transformer is rated in kVA and not in kW??

Answer Posted / naresh kumar

In t/f there are two losse ,first loss is Cupper loos and
second is iron loss,which get current & Voltage
respectively.There is no any power factor that why we
measure the t/f in VA not in watt.So transformer is rated
in KVA not in KW.
