what is the difference between KW and KVA?

Answer Posted / dinesh chaudhary

KW is the real(active) power that depends on load that we
use whereas KVA is the apparant power & it is the maximum
power that is used by the source.


KVA= VI
KW= VICOS@
Where cos@ depends on load.

I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)
