The rating of a transformer follows the two magnitudes that affect its operation; Volts and Amperes. The other, more popular parameter (kW) is not used on Transformers because it depends on connected load Power Factor.

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.


What is the minimum load have to go for a new transformer?

All transformers have a power rating given in kVA which determine the maximum load that can be connected to that transformer.


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.


Why transformer rating is not given in kw?

Transformer rating is based on the maximum temperature a transformer can run at. This temperature is dictated by the amount of current flowing through the transformer windings. This is why transformers are rated in KVA (voltage * current), not kW - it doesn't matter what the phase relationship is between voltage and current, just the magnitude of the current.
