I am working on a transformer load balancing program, and need to find some
info that I have not been able to find on the internet. Meters read in kWh,
but the transformers are rated in KVA. For Single-Phase meters, I have been
told that you multiply the kWh times .0035 (customer wasn't sure where this
number came from - if anybody has any ideas, please shed some light on this
subject). For example, 4,760 kWh is equal to 16.66 KVA (4760 * .0035 =
16.66). Is this correct?
Assuming that part is correct, how do I calculate the KVA from the kWh for
3-phase power? The customer said that the .0035 conversion factor doesn't
work for 3-phase meters. For example, if I have a 3 phase meter that used
46,951 kWh, does it overload a transformer with a capacity of 150 KVA? How
do I calculate that?
Thanks,
Wes
