why the rating of a transformer in kva not in kw.

Answer Posted / naveen

kVA is the unit for apparent power. Apparent power consists
of active and reactive power. Active power is the share of
the apparent power which transmits energy from the source
(generator) to the user. Reactive power is the share of the
apparent power which represents a useless oscillation of
energy from the source to the user and back again. It occurs
when on account of some »inertia« in the system there is a
phase shift between voltage and current. This means that the
current does not change polarity synchronous with the
voltage. But the heat generated in a winding as well as the
eddy current losses generated in a transformer core depend
on the current only, regardless of whether it aligns with
the voltage or not. Therefore the heat is always
proportional to the square of the current amplitude,
irrespective of the phase angle (the shift between voltage
and current). So a transformer has to be rated (and
selected) by apparent power.
