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 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.

How much actual power does a 1KA transformer provide?

The kVA represents the power-handling capability of the transformer.So, if you were using a 1 kVA transformer at 110 volts, you could roughly estimate the maximum output to be 9 amps.


What you a disadvantage of using solar cells as an energy source?

The main disadvantage is that it is only works fully in direct sunlight, so you need another source of power, like battery power or a connection to the public power supply, when the sun goes in.
