Definitions
Electric potential, measured in volts (V), represents the amount of electrical potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the circuit. Voltage is the driving force that causes electric charges to move within a circuit.
kVA stands for kilovolt-ampere, which is a unit of apparent power in an electrical system. It measures the total power, both real and reactive, in an alternating current (AC) circuit. The symbol for kilovolt-ampere is "kVA."
Amps, short for amperes, is a unit of electric current. It is a measure of the rate at which electric charges flow through a conductor in an electrical circuit.
A transformer is an electrical device that takes a given input voltage and changes it to a different output voltage. This change can either be an increase or a decrease in voltage. Learn What Transformers Are, and How They Work
Available Fault Current in transformers is the maximum current that can flow in a power system in the event of a fault, such as a short circuit.
