why transformer are rated in KVA not in watt?

Answer Posted / ramaraj.g

the cu loss of the transformer depends on current and iron
loss on the voltages .so total transformer loss depends on
volt- amps (VA)and NOT on phase angle between voltages and
current it is independent of the load factor. That is the
rating of transformer is in KVA /VA and NOT in KW/Watts
