why transformer ratings in kva?

Answer Posted / vignesh

Thumb Rule - all AC power sources - Generators,
Transformers, UPS etc. are rated in KVA and all loads are
rated in Watt or Kilowatt..
AND hence there is no need of power factor.

KVA=V X A (FRO SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER)
KVA = 1.732 X V XA (FOR THREE PHASE TRANSFORMER)

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 1 No

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
