I have a project now, a 6 MVA 13.8KV/6.6KV transformer costs about $16,000.
B.I.L. stands for Basic Impulse Level for the transformer. It should be on the faceplate of the transformer.
The basic function of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
The basic difference is the secondary voltages. On a distribution transformer the secondary voltage is very high. This is to overcome line loss for transmission of electricity over long distances. A three phase power transformer is used at the consumers three phase services end to manipulate voltages that consumers need to operate their equipment. The transformer that feeds your house is considered to be a single phase power transformer.
The output power of an amplifier is greater than its input power, whereas the output power of a transformer is almost the same as its input power. In other words, an amplifier increases acts to increase power, whereas a transformer only increases voltage.

ideal transformer is that which has no power losses.if any transformer transfer power to secondary without power loss then that call a ideal transformer
No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.
Disadvantages of power transformers depend on the type of transformer. Some disadvantages to three phase power transformers include greater cost of standby units and issues with repairs should one phase fail or be damaged.
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.
If the transformer uses 5 watts per hour you need to know what you are paying per 1000 watts from your power company. If you pay lets say $3.00 for 1000 watts then when your transformer burns 1000 watts it cost you $3.00 your cost will be $3.00 for 200 hours run time.
