Why Trasformers rated in KVA

Answer Posted / yogesh

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 in KVA.

Dear all, I just want to ask an expert on this forum for some insights. For the magnetic balance test, when applied voltage on a Delta-Star transformer e.g. Dyn11, the following relationships apply for HV side: 1.  H1-H2 = H2-H3 H3-H1 2.  H2-H3 = H3-H1 H1-H2 3.  H3-H1 = H1-H2 H2-H3 For the LV side also: 4.  X1-X0 = X2-X0 X3-X0 5.  X2-X0 = X3-X0 X1-X0 6.  X3-X0 = X1-X0 X2-X0 Is there a similar pattern for Y-d, Y-Y, D-d? And how about Y-z, D-z, Z-y transformers? I've tested a YNzn5 transformer and for LV side I don't see the pattern. In this particular case I got for LV side the following (see values below): H1-H0  H2-H0  H3-H0    X0-X1  X0-X2  X0-X3 128.0  119.9  7.2      29.2   13.3   15.8 70.7   128.4  59.2     23.4   22.0   3.6 7.2    120.1  128.1    13.4   29.3   15.8 What is the relationship here for LV? For row 1 I see the relationship, for row 3 I also see but it's shifted, but for row 2 I don't see such relationship. Any suggestions, answers, someone?

An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with 150.80.0.0/16. The ISP wants to distribute these blocks to 2600 customers as follows. a) 200 medium size businesses; each needs 16 addresses b) 400 small businesses; each needs 8 addresses c) 2000 households; each needs 4 addresses Design the subblocks and give the slash notation for each subblock. Find out how many addresses are still available after these allocations.
