why transformer ratings in kva?

Answer Posted / amarjeet kumar

Transformer have basically two types of losses one is copper loss and other is core loss, and copper loss depends upon current, and core loss depends on voltage so it rating is measured in multiple of current and voltage i.e in KVA.It is independent of power factor. Thats why its unit is not in KW.
