why transformer ratings in kva?

Answer Posted / rohan

copper losses of a transformer depends on CURRENT and irons
of a transformer depends on VOLTAGE not an phase angle
between voltage and current. that is why transformer rating
in KVA not an KW.Thus power depends on product of current
and voltage only and not on product of current voltage and
phase angle.
