why transformer ratings in kva?

Answer Posted / elango

copper loss depends on current(I)iron loss depends upon
voltage(V). hence the total loss in a transformer depends
upon volt-ampere(VA)only and not on the phase angle between
voltage and current i.e,it is independ of load power
factor.that is why the rating of a transformer is given in
KVA and not in kw.
