480 transformer to 120 ac current what is the kva on transfomer?
The kVA rating will be listed on the transformer's nameplate, which is usually on the front of the transformer. The 480v to 120v is irrelevant, because many transformers with different kVA ratings convert 480 volts to 120 volts. The kVA ratings can be different and thus affect the rated current through the transformer.
Convert kva to full load amps?
kva means 1000 x voltage x currentSo in order to determine the current we need to know the voltage.AnswerA kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not kva) is a measure of a circuit's apparent power, whereas the ampere(not amp) is a measure of current. These are two completely separate quantities, so your question is quite meaningless. You might have well have asked, "How metres are there in a kilogram of sugar?"
Does a transformer convert the current from 240 volts to 120 volt?
Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.
How do you calculate DG set current from kva?
Rating for DG set and any of electrical machines is calculated in KVA. KVA is calculated as KW/pf. One can calculate the required KVA for DG set with this formulation: (KW/pf)/load rate. For example KW=110, pf=0.8 and one loads the DG at 75%, so KVA= (110/0.8)/0.75=185 KVA.
How many kVA equal kvar?
For normal power factors (pf=80%), you have 0.8 kW for every kva. In general however, kW = pf x kVA. Where pf is the power factor, it is the cosine of the angular difference between the voltage and the current of a circuit in alternating current circuits.
