why transformer rated in KVA not in KW ? we know that W= v*i

Answer Posted / praveen420

rated transformer o/p is limited by heating and hence by the losses in transformer.mainly two type of losses occur in transformer iron loss and copper loss.iron loss depend on voltage and cu loss on current(amp)and these are almost unaffected by load pf so rating of transformer expp.in kva,va rather than kw.
w=v*i*cos(angle) in case of AC.
w=v*i in case of DC

A commercial Building is designed with 14th floor levels with indoor substation of three phase transformer with rated capacity of 1000 Kva.The transformer delivered 65% of its rated capacity at 0.67 power factor lagging.Because of low power factor, the power customer was penalized and certain cost was charged accordingly based on every point percentage lower than 85%.This situation may repeatedly happen on the succeding energy bills of power customer.The power customer is desired to improve its historical power factor of 0.67 lagging and no further penalty be impose by the local power company on the next bill.
