The symbol, kV.A (not 'KVA'!) represents 'kilovolt amperes', and is a multiple of the volt ampere, used to measure the apparent power of an a.c. circuit, that is the product of supply voltage and load current.

Apparent power (expressed in volt amperes) is the vectorial sum of a load's true power (expressed in watts) and its reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes).

What is the kva rating of a transformer that has a secondary winding that's delivering 10 amps at 480 vac?

To calculate the kVA rating of the transformer, you can use the formula: kVA = (Voltage × Current) / 1000. In this case, the secondary winding delivers 10 amps at 480 volts. Therefore, the kVA rating is (480 V × 10 A) / 1000 = 4.8 kVA.

What is the rating in KVA for a desktop computer?

If a device doesn't give its power rating in kVA (or VA), then it can be calculated pretty easily: (volt-amperes) VA = V (voltage) x A (maximum amperage) (kilovolt-amperes) kVA = VA (volt-amperes) / 1000


What would be the kva for a heat pump?

The kVA (kilovolt-ampere) rating for a heat pump depends on its capacity and efficiency. To calculate the kVA, you can use the formula: kVA = (kW / Power Factor). A typical residential heat pump may range from 3 to 10 kVA, depending on the size and efficiency ratings. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific heat pump in question to obtain the accurate kVA rating.

What should be the rating of the transformer in KVA to cater to 55KW motor?

To determine the transformer rating in KVA for a 55 kW motor, you can use the formula: KVA = KW / Power Factor. Assuming a typical power factor of 0.8 for motors, the calculation would be KVA = 55 kW / 0.8 = 68.75 KVA. It's advisable to round up, so a transformer rated at 75 KVA would be appropriate to ensure adequate capacity.
