The rating of the machine (kva or kw) depends upon the power factor, since the load power factor to which the transformer is supplying power is not known, it may be capacitive, inductive, or resistive that is why its rating is in kva not in kw.
Unit Of Transformer Is In KVA because copper loss of a transformer depends on current and iron loss depends on voltage. Hence, total transformer loss depends on Volt-Ampere ( VA ) and not on phase angle between voltage and current i.e. it is independent of load power factor. That is why Unit or say Rating of transformer is in KVA and not in KW.
Because it makes the most sense to size according to KVA. Transformer rating is based on the heating the transformer can take, most of which is usually I^2*R losses. It doesn't matter a whit to the transformer if the current is in phase or out of phase with the voltage; all that matters is the peak current flowing through it.
Because the transformer manufacturer has no idea of the nature of the load which is going to be connected to the transformer, so must base its rating on the product of its rated secondary voltage and rated secondary current.
Incidentally, the symbol for kilovolt ampere is kV.A, notkva.
the capacity of a transformer is defined as a product of voltage and current flowing through it.AS THE CURRENT IS MEASURED IN AMPERES AND VOLTAGE IN VOLTS, Hence transformers are measured/rated in KVA
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
VA or KVA or MVA
How long's a piece of string? It obviously depends on how big the transformer is!
Transformers are rated in KVA, both the primary and secondary windings have the same KVA rating. (KVA is the voltage multiplied by the amperage then divided by 1000). If you have a 10 KVA step up transformer with 120V on the primary: A = 10k / 120 = 83.33A and if the secondary produces 240V: A = 10k / 240 = 41.667A

The 3 kVA transformer will weigh double the 1.5 kVA transformer.
Depends on the kva rating of the devices to be tested using a transformer.
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA
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.
a kva is 1000 vaK is kilo, which means 1000 similar to how a kilometer is 1000 metersTransformers are usually rated in KVA, so a 45 KVA Transformer is a 45 000 VA Transformer
cost of 630kVA transformer
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.
yah! definately affects, the kva of transformer is suitable for the certain load according to the rating.
frequency. KVA is also same in both side of a transformer!!! KVA means Kilo Volt Ampere.
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.
