why is the rating of transformer done in kva and not in kw.

Answer Posted / thiyagarajan

kv is an apparent power kw is an active power the ratio
between active and apparent power is power factor ,we dont
know the power factor before connecting to load that why we
are used to refer kv in transmission

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
