How many houses can a 25 kVA transformer handle?
The 25 kVA transformer probably can handle much higher than 25 kVA for short periods (several hours) without issue. 7 houses seems like a stretch, but it'd probably be fine unless they all started charging EVs or something similar.Feb 27, 2016
Why do transformers use kVA?
Transformers are rated in kVA because the losses occurring in the transformers are independent of power factor. KVA is the unit of apparent power. It is a combination of real power and reactive power. Transformers are manufactured without considering the load being connected.
As, the copper loss or I2R loss depends on the current and the iron or core loss depends upon the voltage of the transformer. Thus, the total losses in a transformer depend upon volt-ampere (VA) only and not on the power factor of the load. That is why the transformer rating is given in kVA and not in kW.Aug 16, 2021
How do you select a transformer?
To select the proper transformer, determine the input and output voltages, frequency and current. The faster the voltage changes, the higher the frequency. The higher the current, the more heat is produced.
