Transformer kVA calculator helps you size quickly during budgeting or early design. Use either kW + PF or V/I + PF, select 1-phase or 3-phase (√3·V·I), and the tool computes load kVA. Add a headroom factor (e.g., 1.25) to get a suggested standard rating—rounded up to common sizes—before you dive into temperature rise, environment, harmonics, and code requirements.

How to size transformers fast
- Pick 1-phase or 3-phase (3φ uses line-to-line voltage, √3 factor).
- Choose inputs: kW + PF or V + I + PF.
- Set a headroom factor (1.25 is common; adjust for load type and expansion).
- Click “Calculate” to get load kVA, kVA with headroom, and a suggested rating.
