Transformer Sizing
If your application requires a transformer, use the following table for sizing the KVA rating. The values in the table
are based on “worst case” power usage and can be considered a conservative recommendation. You can down-size
the values only if the maximum power usage is less than the transformer continuous power rating. Other factors that
may influence the required KVA rating are high transformer ambient temperatures (>40° C or >104° F) and drive
operation near the maximum speeds.
Transformer output voltage drop may become a limiting factor at motor speeds and loads near maximum ratings.
Typically, higher KVA transformers have lower voltage drop due to lower impedance.
