why transfromer rating gives in MVA Or KVA? Why not in MW
or KW?

Answer Posted / alpha cherian

Transformer Copper loss depends on the current drawn and
Iron loss depends on the Voltage. These are affected by the
load connected to it. While designing it is unpredictable.
Since power factor is not constant "KW" rating will be
wrong. Hence rating in kVA.
Kw rating = kVA rating x Power factor

True or false question. 1.The fuse provide phase and neutral 2.power loss in electrical circuit can take place in (resistance or inductance or capacitance). 3.two phase system each phase has separated by a phase difference of (90 or 180 or 270 or 45). 4.3 phase balanced star connected load neutral current shall be (line current or phase current or zero or unity)
