Transformers are rated in KVA because that is a more accurate way to measure their capacity requirements. KWH is apparent power, while KVA is true power, and the ratio between them is power factor. The power factor is a function of the load, and not the transformer, so a poor power factor would make KWA look less to the transformer while, in fact, the true power, if not met by the transformer, could overload the transformer.
copper loss is directly propostional to I (AMPERE) and iron loss directly propostional to V (VOLTAGE) then total losses is equal to volt ampere hence the rating of transformer in KVA. SULTAN
It indicate how well the input transformer is being utilized. It is given by the ratio of DC output power to the AC power rating of Transformer.
Because the transformer designer does not know the power factors of the different loads that might be connected to it. The way round this probem is to specify the voltage and the maximum current that the transformer can supply, then multply them together and print the VA, kVA or MVA rating on the transformer. Then it's up to the user to comply with this rating to avoid damaging the transformer.
The product of the secondary rated current and the secondary rated voltage will give you the rated V.A of the 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.

It's the apparent power (VA) it can deal with.
transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA

It was important that the power transformer had the correct rating for the job. A naval rating is an enlisted member of the navy.
The mgnetic inrush current is the current drawn by the transformer when power is applied to the primary winding
Transformer utilization factor is the ration of power delivered to the load and ac rating of the transformer secondary.
Lower the rating of the primary fuse feeding the transformer.

because we dont know power factor of the secondary laod
