why transfromer rating gives in MVA Or KVA? Why not in MW
or KW?

Answer Posted / alpha cherian

Transformer Copper loss depends on the current drawn and
Iron loss depends on the Voltage. These are affected by the
load connected to it. While designing it is unpredictable.
Since power factor is not constant "KW" rating will be
wrong. Hence rating in kVA.
Kw rating = kVA rating x Power factor

I have a relay contact rated at 220v dc which is supplied with a 24vdc from the panel,for it to trip the dampers(24vdc).What if the application of the relay changes so that it should work at its rated 220vdc then will it work at 24vdc supply given or any other consideration needs to be taken .....
