Yes, I worked on one, in china, on the 3 gorges dam
In electrical engineering it can be millivolt amperes, unless it's MVA then it is megavolt amperes. Such as in the use of large transformers.
milli volt amperes, unless it's MVA then it is Mega Volt Amperes. Such as in the use of large transformers
A 132 kV substation is normally called a grid substation. It would normally use two or more 132/33 kV transformers rated at 90 MVA, or two or more 132/11 kV transformers rated at 30 MVA.
Large transformers are filled with oil which circulates to a radiator to get rid of excess heat. A 100 MVA transformer should waste about 1 MW of power on full load, 0.5 MW on no load.
MVA we are so tight MVA not supposed to fight MVA we are so cool MVA we act like fools. MVA stands for Martina Victoria and Anaya. Bianca not included
There are two concerns here regarding loading on transformers of this size. First is the difference between MVA and MW. MW is just real power -- watts. MVA is total power which includes real power (MW) and reactive power (MVAR).--- http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electric-Power-Utilities-2405/operation-limit-oof-power.htm
MVA is the apparent power. MVA=( MW+ MVAr)1/2
MVA is the aparant power.
Transmission transformers are rated in mva. Distribution transformers are rated in kva. Power transformers are measured in va. There are, of course, exceptions, but this is the normal nomenclature.Answer (for UK terminology)In the electricity supply industry, the name 'power transformer' is used to describe those transformers used in the transmission system (400/275/132-kV levels), while 'distribution transformers' are those used in the distribution system (33 & 11-kV and 400-230-V levels). Power transformers and primary-distribution transformers are rated in megavolt amperes (MV.A), while secondary-distribution transformers are rated in kilovolt amperes(kV.A).Note that 'mva', 'kva', and 'va' are incorrect symbols for 'megavolt ampere', 'kilovolt ampere', and 'volt ampere'. The correct symbols are shown in the above paragraph (except that the period, or full stop, should be placed above the line).However, I suspect your question is really asking why are transformers rated in (mega) volt amperes rather than in (mega) watts? The answer is simply that the load that a transformer can supply is determined by the product of the transformer's rated secondary voltage and rated secondary current -the product of which (for alternating current) is the volt ampere, not the watt.
MVA in Asia's population is 500.
MVA in Asia was created in 1968.
can u get a i.d card on Saturday at the Maryland mva
