why transformer rated in KVA not in KW ? we know that W= v*i

Answer Posted / pratheesh

Transformer is a power source(supplier) whicah can
deliver X amperes at rated voltage. So units of these
values are Voltag(V) and Current(I). It means all the
power delivering equipmets such as Transformers and
Generators are supplying I ampere at V voltage. Thats y
its rating is V*I == V*A

Power W= V*I cosQ.
Not V*I. (It is in DC)

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 4 No
