Why Transformer in KVA?
Answer Posted / pankaj rajput
The copper loss of a Transformer depends on current i.e.
I^2 R and the iron loss depends on voltage. Hence the total
losses depends on volt-ampere (VA) and not on phase angle
between voltage & current.
Therefor the losses in a transformer are independent of
power factor which is cosine of angle between voltage &
current.
That's why the rating of transformers is in KVA and not in
kW.
Now coming to Efficiency of a transformer: Yes it depends
on power factor of load. Because the
Efficiency = Output/Input
= (Input - Losses) / Input
= 1 - (Losses / Input)
= 1 - [Losses / (Vs * Is * Cos phi + Losses)]
Efficiency is inverted V curve (Y-scale) and the peak of
curve appears between 50-60% load (X-scale)for various load
power factors. Efficiency increases as the power factor
increases.

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating.
