why rating in KVA and KVAR?

Answer Posted / sunil ulange

ALL TRANSFORMERS RATING ARE IN KVA BECAUSE TRANSFORMER IS
INDEPENDENT OF POWER FACTOR AND TRANSFORMER WILL NOT ACT AS
A LOAD, IT ONLY TRANSFERS VOLTAGE FROM ONE LEVEL TO OTHER LEVEL.

KVA = KILO( VOLTS * AMPERES )

NORMALLY REACTORS RATINGS ARE IN KVAR
