why the motor is rated as kw& transformer as kva

Answer Posted / subhajit

Power output of a motor depends upon the power factor . If
power factor is less it will affect the power consumption of
the motor from the supply mains.

Whereas in case of transformer, its output does not depend
upon power factor. So it is always rated in kva not kw.
