Question { 10671 }

why transformer capacity is called KVA and motor capacity
is called HP/KW?
Why transformer capacity cant call HP/KVA?

Answer

Transformer is a device which transform the power from its
primery to its secondary provided that the frequency and
power remains same (In ideal case the power will be same).
In transformer there is no changing of power factor so its
rating is described in VA.
But the motor is a device that converts the Electrical power
into Mechanical power. In motor applications we concerns
both with with electrical power as well as Mechanical power.
Kw is Electrical term and HP is usually used in Mechanical.
Hence this is the reason as per my knowledge.
