  2. Rating plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_plate

    A typical electrical generator rating plate contains the following parameters: [4] power rating is specified in terms of apparent power (KVA or MVA), since the exact power factor will be determined by the external factors; [5] power factor (PF) is the nominal power factor for other ratings; usually PF = 0.8; [5]

  3. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    Some devices, including uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), have ratings both for maximum volt-amperes and maximum watts. A common prefixed derived unit is "kilovolt-ampere" (symbol kVA). The VA rating is limited by the maximum permissible current, and the watt rating by the power-handling capacity of the device.

  4. Nameplate capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nameplate_capacity

    Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or gross capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others.

  5. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC power system is defined as the ratio of the real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit. . Real power is the average of the instantaneous product of voltage and current and represents the capacity of the electricity for performing

  6. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]

  7. Buck–boost transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck–boost_transformer

    Buck–boost transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer and the nameplate kVA rating is the transformer’s capacity. [2]

  8. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Transformers step down transmission voltages, 35 kV or more, down to primary distribution voltages. These are medium voltage circuits, usually 600–35 000 V. [1] From the transformer, power goes to the busbar that can split the distribution power off in multiple directions. The bus distributes power to distribution lines, which fan out to ...

  9. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    The ratio of the voltage bases on either side of a transformer is selected to be the same as the ratio of the transformer voltage ratings. With these two rules, a per-unit impedance remains unchanged when referred from one side of a transformer to the other. This allows the ideal transformer to be eliminated from a transformer model.
