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 meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?

The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.


What is the difference between rated current full load current?

rated current is the current at any given conditions......but full load current is the maximum current that the system design can hav.....it w'll b larger than that f the rated current. rated current is the current at any given conditions......but full load current is the maximum current that the system design can hav.....it w'll b larger than that f the rated current.


How you calculate rated current?

Rated current is typically defined for all electric devices. Either the device has a rated current, wattage or Volt x amperes (VA). Current can be computed by dividing the wattage or VA rating by 120 volts (For resistive loads). In residential situations the maximum current is governed by the protecting breaker on a circuit. If you all up all the rated currents for devices on a circuit they should be less than or equal to 80% of the protecting breaker current rating.


How is the full load current different to the starting current- is the full load current higher or lower than the starting current?

While starting a motor from standstill to its rated speed, the motor has to overcome the inertia and generate enough torque to over come it. In the process the motor takes higher current during the starting. Once started and set in motion the current reduces ti its normal value. Full load current is lower than the starting current normally.

What is difference between power diode and ordinary diode?

the High voltage rated diodes are power diodes while of low rating or normal voltage rating are considered to as ordinary / normal diode


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.

When does a motor draw current more than its rated current?

This is a good indication that the motor is being overloaded. If the motor load is belt driven, remove the belt and then check the motor amps. If it goes back to normal FLA then there is a problem with the driven load. If the motor amperage stays high check the motor bearings for the problem.


Why Cable gets heated when current flows more than its rated current why?

Because if the rated current is lower than the actual current, it causes resistance to the electrical flow which in turn is dispelled as heat.


What is the current of a 25volt resistor?

Resistors are rated in ohms for their resistance value and in watts for the power they are capable of handling. They are not rated in volts or current.


What is short circuit ratio?

Ratio of field current required to produce rated voltage in open circuit to the field current required to produce rated current in short circuit.


What is the standard output current of a transformer when connected to an ac?

There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.
