It's not - I have seen 50kVA, 100kVA,...15000kVA, 36000kV, 180000kVA to name a few examples. Near where I live, I don't believe there are more than a few Transformers rated in multiples of 11 as you state.

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.


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


What is the result when 3 kva power requirement is being supplied by 250 kva transformer?

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.


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


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 the rating of transformer in kva?

because we dont know power factor of the secondary laod


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 transformer is measured in kva?

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.
