    Transformers transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through mutual induction and are used mainly for stepping up or stepping down voltages in power transmission and distribution. Tapings are connected to the high voltage winding side due to lower current, as connecting them to the low voltage side could cause sparking during tap changing operations due to higher current. Transformers are rated in kVA to indicate the apparent power they can provide, as kVA values are often large and the rating determines the current and voltage a transformer can deliver to its load without overheating.

    001.

    What is transformer?

    Transformers are electromagnetic devices that transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another by mutual induction. Main use in Transmission & Distribution.... Step Up & Step Down

    Tapings are connected to high voltage winding side, because of low current. If we connect tapings to low voltage side, sparks will produce while tap changing operation due to high current
    002. Why transformer rating is in KVA?

    Transformers are rated for the amount of apparent power they can provide. Power factor of transformer is dependent on load...Because values of apparent power are often large, the transformer apparent power rating is frequently given in kVA (kilovolt-amperes) now KW. The kVA rating determines the current and voltage a transformer can deliver to its load without overheating.
