Hi,
I have a couple questions regarding transformers:
1. When you're told that a particular transformer is rated at 2000kVA, is that referring to the output or to the input rating of the TX? Or is it correct to say that the apparent power on both windings will be equal to that?
I view the 2000kVA as the maximum loading of the transformer (even though it can be overloaded a bit with the correct setup) however with this in mind I'm having doubts whether I can use S=VI on any of the two windings.
2. If you have a 2000kVA three-phase 30000/6000V transformer connected as delta-star, then is the apparent power per phase equal to 2000kVA or is that the total?
