KVA = A * KV.
= 8 * 2.
KVA = 16.

KW = KVA,
P= VI.
KVA rating = 2*8 = 16 KVA.

In the question, it is said that the load current is 8A and the secondary voltage is 2KV.

We know that the kva rating of a transformer remains constant be it in primary side or secondary side.
so,

V1*I1= V2*I2.
V2 = 2KV,
I2 = 8A.


KVA rating = V2*I2.
= 2*8 kVA,
= 16 KVA.

Have any formula for change to kW to ka?

Why transformer's rating is in Kva and not in Kw?

V2*i2 = kVa.
So,
2* 8= 16 kVa.
Ans:- 16 kVa.

All electrical devices that supply power are usually rated in kVA. This includes transformers, UPS's.

For a 300 MW steam turbine, Generator output is designed 353 MVA and transformer is designed for 370 MVA. Why are generator and transformer rating different?
