why transformer rating in always in KVA ?

Answer Posted / bharat kumar

Any device is rated depending on losses of the machine. In a transformer the losses are iron losses which depends on voltage and copper losses which depends on current so there are no losses which depend on power factor hence transformer is rated in KVA.
