Because its measured in kilo volt amps which is the actual reflection of current flowing through the windings.
if kw were used as a rating, then it would have to be stated at some power factor
Yes, you can use a doorbell transformer with a higher amp rating than the original, as long as the voltage matches the requirements of your doorbell system. The transformer will only provide the current (amps) that the doorbell draws, so having a higher amp rating will not harm the system. However, ensure that the voltage is compatible to avoid damaging your doorbell.
The pivot necessary for a diode in a transformer circuit is typically the diode's peak reverse voltage (PRV) rating, which must be higher than the maximum voltage seen during the transformer's operation. This ensures that the diode can withstand reverse bias without breaking down. Additionally, the forward current rating of the diode should accommodate the maximum current flowing through the circuit. Proper selection of these ratings ensures reliable operation and prevents damage to the diode or transformer.
If the protection relay and CT installed for away, then it is advised to install 1A CT rather than 5A CT. Because of lower amps it will reduce the losses on the cable. p = i^2.R
because the copper is saved in the auto transformer that is the ratio of weights of copper in auto transformer to normal transformer is (1-(1/a)) where a is transformer ratio
the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side
A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.
why should we use pulse transformer rather than ordinary transformer
A CVT (Constant Voltage Transformer) is always better than a Servo Stabilizer. But a CVT is costlier than a Servo Stabilizer of same rating.
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
Yes, you can use a doorbell transformer with a higher amp rating than the original, as long as the voltage matches the requirements of your doorbell system.

However, ensure that the voltage is compatible to avoid damaging your doorbell.
Yes. Yes, you can replace a transformer with one that has a higher current rating. The load on the transformer should be less than 200mA because presumably that is what the circuit was designed for. Since the current through the transformer should be less than 200mA, the 500mA transformer will not be damaged. The opposite is not true. You should not replace a 200mA rated transformer with a 100mA transformer, for example. If the current exceeds 100mA, the transformer could fry.
There's no problem except that the transformer will be more massive than necessary. It will work at the same voltage and current, but there is less iron loss, so the voltage rating can be increased by a maximum of 15-20% and the current rating can be increased by 15-20% also. But if this is in an aircraft or other safety-critical application, do not overrate the transformer.
It is better to determine the efficiency of a transformer indirectly through measurements and calculations because direct loading can cause overheating and damage to the transformer. Indirect methods are safer, more accurate, and do not risk the operational integrity of the transformer.
A transformer has a rating that is usually expressed in KVA. This is approximately a wattage rating. It is not dangerous but it can be the cause of some concern. An appliance has a set current that is draws. This current times the voltage is the appliance's wattage. The same goes for the transformer. It only has a certain capacity to supply a specific current that is governed by its KVA (watts). Driving the transformer beyond its rated capacity tends to heat the transformer beyond its working temperature. If left in this over current draw the transformer's windings insulation will break down and the windings will short circuit. This is usually the end of a working transformer. So short answer, more watts (amps) from appliance equals burned out transformer.

To convert 110v to 12v using a transformer, you would need a transformer with a turns ratio of 9.17:1. This means the primary winding (110v) would have 9.17 times more turns than the secondary winding (12v), allowing for the voltage conversion. Make sure to select a transformer with the appropriate power rating to handle the load at 12v.
Helps with the starting of large electric motors.AnswerAn autotransformer is a transformer with a single winding, rather than two separate windings. It can be used as a step-up or as a step-down transformer, provided there is no requirement for electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the primary circuit.
