kVA is essentially power rating (capacity) of a transformer. Since power is equal P=I*V, so P=kV*A, with I measure in Amps or denoted as A.
AnswerA transformer's iron losses depend on the magnitude of the flux which, in turn, is proportional to voltage, while its copper losses depend on the winding currents. As both iron and copper losses contribute to the maximum operating temperature of the transformer, it follows that a transformer must be rated in terms of voltage and current. In alternating current systems, the product of voltage and current is apparent power, expressed in volt amperes.
As a transformer's secondary voltage is kept approximately constant, it is its 'volt ampere' rating that determines its maximum (secondary) load current.
Expressing a transformer's rating in watts (i.e. true power) would be completely meaningless because, with a highly-reactive load, it will be supplying practically zero watts while still having to supply its rated current.
What else can I help you with?
What is the KVA rating required of the testing transformer?
Depends on the kva rating of the devices to be tested using a transformer.
Do the load carried by a transformer is affected by KVA rating?
yah! definately affects, the kva of transformer is suitable for the certain load according to the rating.
Why you are indicating capacity of transformer in KVA?
transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA
Transformer rating is expressed in?
VA or KVA or MVA
How many 200 amp panels can you tap off 250 kva transformer?
You can tap off approximately 833 200 amp panels from a 250 kVA transformer. This calculation is based on dividing the kVA rating of the transformer by the current rating of the panel.
Can you use a step up transformer 110220 with output of 16 kva?
Yes, but your input current is going to be high at 133 amps. The output of the transformer is not going to be 16 KVA, that is the rating of the transformer.
What is kva rating of single phase transformer?
This is the rated output of the transformer, obtained by multiplying the rated secondary voltage by the rated secondary current. And it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.
How the ka rating of mccb is calculated?
ka of mccb=transformer(KVA)x100/1.732xsecondary voltagex%impedence of transformer
What is the kw of 100kva transformer and how you calculate?
The kW rating of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the kVA rating by the power factor. For example, if the power factor is 0.8, then the kW rating of a 100 kVA transformer would be 80 kW. You can also use the formula: kW = kVA x power factor.
480 transformer to 120 ac current what is the kva on transfomer?
The kVA rating will be listed on the transformer's nameplate, which is usually on the front of the transformer. The 480v to 120v is irrelevant, because many transformers with different kVA ratings convert 480 volts to 120 volts. The kVA ratings can be different and thus affect the rated current through the transformer.
What is the result when 3 kva power requirement is being supplied by 250 kva transformer?
The result is that the transformer runs cool and contented. The '250 KVA' rating on the transformer is its maximum ability to transfer power from its input to its output without overheating, NOT an amount of power always running through it. If the 3 KVA load happens to be the only thing connected to the transformer at the time, then only 3 KVA flows into the transformer from the primary line, and only 3 KVA leaves the transformer secondary.
Why the rating of transformer in kva?
because we dont know power factor of the secondary laod
