Why a transformer is rated as KVA?

A transformer has separate ratings for voltage and current. The voltage limit is set by the maximum magnetic flux-density in the iron core. The current limit is set by the resistance of the copper wire in the windings. Multipy the two together to get the VA rating, divide by 1000 to get kVA.
