why is the rating of transformer done in kva and not in kw.

Answer Posted / lakshmanan m

According to my opinion, manufacturer cant design the
particular transformer for specific load (capacitive or
inductive load) Thats why they dont give the power in KW.
Because KW= vxIx power factor. but power factor is
depending upon the load. So commonly they are give the KVA
power only. It means KVA= Vx I only. According to the load
we can calculate the KW rating.

I am designing new project sub station with 220 kV / 11 kV, 40 MVA capacity. This project have many recifier sets, which can generate 3rd harmonics. Now I have to select vector group of This transformer. To minimise 3rd harmonics, what care should I take in selection of Transformer Vecrtor group? If it is Y-Y with open Delta tertiary then what should be the rating & voltage of Tertiary Winding?
