What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?
Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.
What is the impedance of a transformer?
Impedance (Z) voltage is the amount of voltage applied to the primary side to produce full load current in the secondary side. It is usually listed on the transformer nameplate, expressed as a percent, and measured by conducting a short circuit test.
Why rated voltage is to be applied to primary for open circuit test?
Open circuit test on a transformer is usually performed to measure the IRON losses.Iron losses are produced due to eddy current and hysteresis losses. In open circuit test, the LV side, generaly the secondary winding, is kept open and the HV side, generaly the primary winding is fed with the rated voltage and frequency. The rated voltage is applied in order to setup normal flux in the transformer, which in return further produces the normal iron losses at rated voltage. the wattmeter connected at the primary side will show the power consumed due to iron losses. this calculation further utilized for determing the efficiency of transformer.
What is meaning of apparent power in transformer?
Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in an a.c. system, and is expressed in volt amperes. The rated apparent power of a transformer is the product of its rated secondary current and rated secondary voltage.

What is meant by rated voltage?
the voltage which is mainly applied to primary side of the transformer is called rated voltage.Answer'Rated voltage' is the nominal voltage at which an electrical device has been designed to operate.
What happens when a transformer is operated at no load with high voltage?
It depends on how much voltage you have applied. If you apply rated voltage nothing happens only core losses will be there on the transformer nothing will happen apart from that. If you go on increase the voltage core losses will increase and transformer will get heated up. After attaining the breakdown voltage of insulation, insulation in the primary and secondary will fail and the coils will get short circuited then the coils will burn.
What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?
Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.
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.
What will happen to the transformer if the rated voltage is applied to the winding during short circuit test?
the winding would burn....
What will happen to the transformer if double the rated voltage is applied to the winding during the open circuit test?
no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.
Why transformer is rated inkva?
Because it's the product of the transformer's rated secondary voltage and its rated secondary current. The product of voltage and current, in a.c., is the volt ampere.Incidentally, it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.
How do you calculate MVA rating of power transformer?
The product of the secondary rated current and the secondary rated voltage will give you the rated V.A of the transformer.
