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.
Depends on the kva rating of the devices to be tested using a transformer.
yah! definately affects, the kva of transformer is suitable for the certain load according to the rating.
All transformers have a power rating given in kVA which determine the maximum load that can be connected to that transformer.
transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA
VA or KVA or MVA
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.
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.
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'.
ka of mccb=transformer(KVA)x100/1.732xsecondary voltagex%impedence of transformer
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.
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.
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.
