why Transformer and DG rating capacity is in KVA..

Answer / n rajesh(zuari)

Transformer and generators rating in KVA due to this is not
depended on power factor.Motors current depended on copper
losses and voltage depended on iron losses so, this is
depend on power factor.

why Transformer and DG rating capacity is in KVA..

Answer / swum

2 types of losses in transformer are
Ohmic loss which is dependent on current
core loss which is dependent on voltage
Since these 2 losses are independent of power factor, rating
is expressed in KVA instead of KW

why Transformer and DG rating capacity is in KVA..

Answer / g a reddy, essar steels ltd, v

The term power factor is related to load. It is not related to Generator and Transformer. I mean Power factor angle will not vary with out load.(cos of the angle between voltage and current.) This will vary depends on type of load.I can say capacitive loads will inject the reactive powers to line and inductive loads will draw reactive power(KVAR) from the line to develop a magnetic field in the windings.Active power is used to Drive the load(KW).
KVA= sqrt of(kw2+kvar2)
And also we can say Transformer and Generators Losses will depends on Voltage and current. So Ratings of these are mentioned in VA.

why Transformer and DG rating capacity is in KVA..

Answer / muthuvel

Actually Dg and Transformer Supplying Apparent power only . At the load point only power is segregated by real and reactive power.The Apparent power measured by the unit of kVA(Kilo Volt Ampere),the True power measured by the unit of KW,the reactive power measured by the unit of kVAR(Kilo volt ampere with reactive component).For that reason only DG and Transformer ratings are in KVA.
