why the transformer ratings in kva or mva?

Answer Posted / gopalakrishna

transformer ratting are always in KVA or MVA why because
transformer iron losses are depen upon current, and copper
losses are depending upon voltage hence the rattings of the
trans former rattings are in 'kva'

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
