How to calculate the Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) Rating of a Transformer

Great and straight forward explanation, thank you!

"Save some time..."? Just write 2.3 Thanks for the video!

🤣

Is also similar for that of 3-phase one?

Keep up the good work 👍🏻 really helpful video

I dont get it, if I have a 200A 480/277V panel and I want to step down to 200A 208/120 panel. What kva shouls the transformer be

Did you understand

The kva rating of a transformer has to do with the power factor, not the copper and core losses within the transformer. A power factor less than 1.0 means that reactive current is present, so the transformer will be drawing and supplying more current than would be that of the total resistive load, and the copper and core losses in the transformer. Transformer losses are resistive in nature, dissipating in the form of heat, so loss current is in phase with the voltage delivered to the load. An ideal transformer/network/load system will have equal kva and power ratings. Real world transformers will need ratings for Kva and Kw that are different to accommodate anticipated reactive networks and loads.

Can I ask something
