why transformer measures in kva..

Answer / sujeet

Actually, a machine's rating depends on the type of load and
since the load of a transformer can be real as well as
reactive.Hence the rating of the transformer is given in KVA
not in KW( for mechanical loads only).

Answer / neeraj malik

As there are two types of losses in a t/f i.e core losses that
