Any device is rated depending on losses of the machine. In a
transformer the losses are iron losses which depends on
voltage and copper losses which depends on current so there
are no losses which depend on power factor hence transformer
is rated in KVA

Answer / rahul

In a transformer Losses(I^2R-Iron and Copper Losses)depends
on voltage(Volts) and current(Amps).so the rating wshould
be in KVA

Answer / a.muthukumar, vacon

Cu loss of a transformer depends on current and iron loss on voltage. Hence, total transformer loss depends on volt-ampere (VA) and not on phase angle between voltage and current. It is independent of load power factor. That is why rating of transformer is in KVA and not in KW.

Answer / nilamanineel@yahoo.com

but nobody did not say about alternator

Answer / deepak

this is because the KVA rating give active plus reactive
power components and the reactive power is associated with
losses of the machines. KW rating tells about the power
being transfered not the losses associated with the process.

Answer / aniket

as the is not known we cannot know the power factor so cant xpress in watts so in kva

how can i find cable size from current rating?

i have 400/230v transformer and didnt done the neutral eatrhing. i connected one lamp to one phase and neutral to the earth. but the lamp is not glowing. again i connected neutral to earth and repeated the same. then the lamp is glowing. in the first condition i tested with a line tester also, at that time the tesrer is glowing what is happening i dont know can any one help me?
