What limits the use of a transformer is its operating temperature, as excessively-high temperature will act to break down its insulation. The temperature reached by a transformer is a function of its rating (expressed in volt amperes), so operating a transformer below its rating is perfectly okay.
For a single-phase transformer, divide the ratedapparent power (expressed in volt amperes) by the voltage rating (expressed in volts) of the primary winding; this will give you the rated primary current (expressed in amperes) of the primary winding.
Any transformer can be overloaded by applying a load above the capacity rating of the transformer.
The secondary current of a transformer is determined by the load and the secondary voltage applied to that load, and this, in turn, will determine the primary current by the inverse of the turns ratio. However, if you are asking about a transformer's rated secondary and primary currents, then you need to divide the transformer's apparent power rating (expressed in volt amperes) by the rated secondary and primary voltages respectively.
Because a transformer is a big lump of metal that takes time heat up, so if the load is on and off in a short time, the load rating can be exceeded.

The secondary winding's current rating is the rated apparent power of the transformer (expressed in volt amperes) divided by its voltage rating (expressed in volts). This applies to both step down, and step up, transformers.
For a single-phase transformer, divide the ratedapparent power (expressed in volt amperes) by the voltage rating (expressed in volts) of the primary winding; this will give you the rated primary current (expressed in amperes) of the primary winding.
100MVA
Depends on the kva rating of the devices to be tested using a transformer.
Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.
You cannot 'measure' the rated power (or, more accurately, 'apparent power') rating of a transformer. You can, though, calculate this value, which is the product of the rated secondary voltage and the rated secondary current, and is expressed in volt amperes.This information can be found on the transformer's nameplate data label.
A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.
yah! definately affects, the kva of transformer is suitable for the certain load according to the rating.
Any transformer can be overloaded by applying a load above the capacity rating of the transformer.
A 100kVA transformer is rated for...100kVA. That is its' power rating, and it is based off the current that is flowing through the transformer (the I^2*R losses are the limiting factor). This can be 80kW and 60 kVARs, or 100kW and 0 kVARs, or 100kVARs, or anywhere inbetween.Another AnswerThe 'power' rating of a transformer is the product of its secondary voltage and its secondary current, expressed in volt amperes or multiples thereof. It's not expressed in watts, because to know the 'true power' of the transformer, the manufacturer will need to know the power factor of the load, and that could vary considerably. Incidentally, the symbol for kilovolt ampere is 'kV.A', not 'kVa'.
The amp rating for a 100VA transformer will vary depending on the actual voltage of the transformer. Transformers have both a primary and a secondary voltage.
