why not ? a 1000kva means you will get the power out as 1000kv per amp in essence it can be a 100v with 10 amp out. means the same thing to me.

It's power factor depends upon the load. Thus we can not give absolute value of KW rating of a Xmer or an alternator in the manufacturing plant.

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'.


Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?

Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.


What is the full load current for1600 kva transformer?

It depends on the rated voltage. Take 1600 KVA and divide by KV, and you will get A.


What is the current of a 45 kva transformer?

Presumably, you are asking what is the rated secondary current for a 45 kV.A (not 'kva') transformer? The answer depends on its rated secondary voltage. To obtain the rated secondary current, you divide the (apparent) power rating by its secondary rated voltage.


How many KVA of genset to produce 10000watts?

A gen set will be rated for a certain kVA at a certain power factor, or certain kW at a certain power factor. If rated in kVA, the power factor indicates the amount of real power you will get (ie if rated at 10,000kVA at .95 pf, the gen set can generate .95 x 10,000kW, or 9,500kW).


What are transformers rated?

A transformer's capacity is rated in volt amperes(V.A). This is the product of the secondary winding's current rating and voltage rating.


How do you Convert va to kva?

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


How are transformer rated?

Why transformer rated kva?

The correct symbol for kilovolt amperes is 'kV.A, not kva. A volt ampere is the product of the transformer's secondary rated voltage and its rated current. It is not rated in watts, because the transformer designer has no idea what sort of load is to be applied to the transformer, and it is the load that determines the amount of watts, not the transformer.


How many amps will a 37.5 KVA transformer carry?

It depends on the rated voltage of its secondary.


Does a transformer convert the current from 240 volts to 120 volt?

Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.


Why dg sets are rated in kva?

It's because the voltage is a specified value, and the current drawn has a limiting value. So multiplying those together gives the VA or kVA that it can supply.
