Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in an a.c. system, and is expressed in volt amperes. The rated apparent power of a transformer is the product of its rated secondary current and rated secondary voltage.

Rating of transformer?
It's the apparent power (VA) it can deal with.
What is current carrying for 2200kVA transformer?
Presumably you are asking about the rated secondary current of a transformer rated at 2200 kV.A?This depends on the rated secondary voltage. You divide the rated apparent power of the transformer by the rated secondary voltage.Of course, the actual current depends on the load.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
How do you calculate current capacity of transformer?
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.
How a rectifier transformer deffer from a power transformer?
rectifier transformer converts acinto dc.but,power transformer convert step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency

What is a current of transformers?
The current rating of transformers vary widely as well as the types (step-down, etc.....). So depending on the use, the primary power, and the secondary power, the amp load will change. More in general current is amps, if your transformer has say 1Kva on it then that tells you the apparent power the transformer can handle. As a side note a lot of transformers are rated in VA or KVA and that is a combination of volts and amps (apparent power).

What is meaning of Transformer stability and sensitivity?
What is meaning of Transformer sensitivity?
Why transformer rating is called kva not kw?
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.
How can you measure the power rating of a 1.5 kg step down transformer that converts 240 volts to 112 volts?
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.
What is meant by the term ideal transformer?
ideal transformer is that which has no power losses.if any transformer transfer power to secondary without power loss then that call a ideal transformer
Is transformer an amplifier?
No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.
What is the current of a 45 kva transformer?
Presumably, you are asking what is the rated secondary current for a 45 kV.A (not 'kva') transformer? The answer depends on its rated secondary voltage. To obtain the rated secondary current, you divide the (apparent) power rating by its secondary rated voltage.
Transformers are rated in what?
Transformers are rated in KVA. (this is because the transformer is Unity power factor device i.e.. PF = 1)AnswerThe selection of a transformer is determined by the apparent power of the load, expressed in volt amperes(V.A), the load current, and the line voltage of the supply. The transformer must be able to satisfy these requirements.Transformers are not 'unity power factor' devices, which is precisely why their capacity is expressed in volt amperes, rather than in watts.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
What will happen you f the rated power of transformer is changed?
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.
