Why is a transformer’s power rated in “VA” not in watts?
Introduction The complexity of electrical systems is the reason for the transformer’s rating in “VA” (Volt-Amps) as opposed to watts. Transformers are essential parts of electrical circuits because they adjust voltage levels while preserving power balance. Because reactive power exists—a component of power that oscillates between the source and the load without accomplishing any constructive […]
