p (k.w) = vi* p.f

Here secondary voltage = 2 kv

Total load = 8 amps
power factor =0.9

k.w =kva * p.f
= 2000 * 8 * 0.9/1000=14.4

kva = k.w /pf
=14.4/0.9=16 kva

Mr madhusudhan.

By saying same voltage across the current & voltage in primary &secondary winding. Then, how could we step up &step down voltage of an transformer by using this concept?

The output rating of transformer in KVA=v*i
=2000*8
=16000
=16KVA

kva=V*I
kva=2000*8
=16000
=16kva

Why the losses (c&i) are calculaed in kva of transformer why not in kw?

p=vicosQ for single phase p= root3*VICosQ for three phase
Consider 0.95 PF For transformer
0.80 PF for generator
p=2000*8*0.95
= 15200=15.2KW
so PF = KW/KVA we need KVA rating
KVA= KW/PF
= 15.2/0.95=16KVA.

Hello my dear friends we have to follow these steps to select transformer

we know that
p=VIcosQ for single phase and p=root3*v*i*cosQ for three phase
so power = 2000*8*0.95
= 15200= 15.2kw
Then

we know that power factor=KW/KVA

Consider 0.95 PF for transformer
0.80 PF for generator
so KVA=KW/PF=15200/0.95 = 16KVA

We know that KVA=VOLATGE*CURRENT/1000
SO VOLTAGE =2 KV= 2000 VOLT
CURRENT=8 AMP

SO KVA = 2000 * 8 / 1000
=16000 /1000
16

SO KVA=16 SO SIMPLE.

Actualyy rating of a transformer is in Kilo Volt ie KV
1KV = 1000 Volt
Therefore divided by 1000
