What kVA rating is required for a transformer that must handle a maximum load current of 15 A with a secondary voltage of 10 kV?

  1. 150 kVA
  2. 150 VA
  3. 1.5 kVA
  4. 1500 VA

Answer: A. 150 kVA

kVA rating is required for a transformer that must handle a maximum load current of 15 A with a secondary voltage of 10 Kv is 150 KVA.

Solution

The volt-ampere rating of the transformer =load voltage × load currrent

The given voltage is 10 kV and the current is 15 A

Volt-ampere rating =15×10=150 KVA

For the transformer input kVA is equal to output KVA.
