Yes, transformer losses will be the same for any linear load with the same VA. However, if the load is nonlinear, such as a rectifier, the load waveform will be distorted and the losses will be higher than with an undistorted sinusoidal load current of the same VA
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.
An electrical load is a component or device that consumes electrical energy to perform work, such as lighting, heating, or powering machinery. It converts electrical energy into other forms of energy, such as heat, light, or mechanical energy. Loads can be resistive (like heaters), inductive (like motors), or capacitive (like capacitors), and they are essential for the functioning of electrical circuits.
Electric geysers primarily use resistive coils, also known as heating elements, to heat water. These coils convert electrical energy into heat through resistance, efficiently warming the water in the tank. Inductive coils are more commonly associated with induction heating applications, which is not the case for standard electric geysers.
a transformer require AC to function as desired it transform the AC to different levels. DC on a transformer can only see the actual primary or secondary resistance if the source is not limited in current it will burn the transformer by excessive heating since it will see only wire resistance. Answer 2 the application of an AC voltage, V on one winding of the transformer produces alternating flux that links the entire core of the transformer. The changing flux induces an emf, E that opposes the main voltage. the current through the winding in this case is {(V-E)/R}; R= winding resistance in case of application of DC, since there is no changing flux, there is no induced emf and hence the current will be V/R since the resistance of the winding is very small, the current is very high and this can burn away the windings. hence DC is not used.
Transformer cores are chosen to limit eddy currents, which cause heating and losses in the core. Very thin laminations minimize this overhead cost of running a transformer by reducing losses associated with eddy currents.
Yes because the transformer heating (power losses) depend on the load current and the load voltage. It can be assumed that the voltage stays more or less constant, therefore the iron loss is also constant. The copper loss depends on the square of the load current. So it is the VA of the load that determines the power loss and any heating.
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.
The function of a thermostat transformer in a heating and cooling system is to convert the standard voltage from the electrical system into a lower voltage that can be safely used by the thermostat to control the heating and cooling equipment.
Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.
Power factor is the cosine of an AC circuit's phase angle, where the expression phase angle is the angle by which a load current lags or leads the supply voltage.Lagging phase angles and power factors occur in resistive-inductive circuits. Leading phase angles and power factors occur in resistive-capacitive circuits.Most industrial and commercial loads are combinations of heating (resistive) loads and motor (inductive) loads -in other words, resistive-inductive loads. Accordingly, lagging power factors tend to be more common than leading power factors.

The purpose of an HVAC transformer 24v in a heating and cooling system is to convert the standard household voltage to a lower voltage that is safe for controlling the operation of the system's components, such as the thermostat, relays, and control boards.
It will work ok. The iron's heating element is predominately resistive in order to produce heat. If the heating element is coiled, it will have a small inductive reactance which acts similar to a resistance to current flow but does not contribute to heating. At a higher a.c. frequency (60 Hz instead of 50 Hz) it will have a slightly higher inductive reactance and, therefore, a slight reduction in heat production.
it won't get as hot
Common bad transformer symptoms in HVAC systems include frequent system cycling, blown fuses, inconsistent heating or cooling, and a humming or buzzing noise coming from the transformer. These issues can indicate a malfunctioning transformer that may need to be replaced.
