How to know the VA rating of a transformer

  As far as i am concerned in XFR (transformer) both KV and MVA rating are mentioned. Both of them are essential because you can calculate rated current, rated impedence etc from this two value. So KV and MVA rating are independent variable. I don't know if there is practical function between them.
  
  May be in practice there is some combination of this two. Which requires practical knowledge not mathematical issue.

  not possible to tell the exact VA rating of the transformer given.
  but if given the Voltage then u can decide whether it is coming inthe distribution or transmission or which range. then u can give an approx estimation of the KVA rating. ok

  hello arp
  
  first of all thanks for your reply .
  
  Actually I meant the same that how can you estimate the approximate value of the VA as ofcourse it is impossible to get the exact value of VA from the value of just of voltage and not the current.
  
  So can you show this with an example, please.

  As an example, if the voltage rating of two sides are like 11 kv and 220 kv indicates it is a generating transformer so its rating is someewhat in range- 100to 200 MVA, if 15.75 kv then 300 MVA and if 21 kv to 220 kv then can be 600-900 MVA even.
  if rating are 11 kv and 33 kv indicate its rating around 20 MVA.
  if unit auxillary transformer (6.6/433) then should be around 2-4 MVA
  if distribution one then should be around 25KVA to 10 MVA usually 1-10 MVA.
  data taken from my internships done
  if any furthur query u have, post here.

  whats the math behind it? bro...

  no math behind it just logic
  what i know is the line voltage rating of the different rating alternators. from there u can know the kva rating of transformer if know the line voltage.
