What should be the rating of the transformer in KVA to cater to 55KW motor?

To determine the transformer rating in KVA for a 55 kW motor, you can use the formula: KVA = KW / Power Factor. Assuming a typical power factor of 0.8 for motors, the calculation would be KVA = 55 kW / 0.8 = 68.75 KVA. It's advisable to round up, so a transformer rated at 75 KVA would be appropriate to ensure adequate capacity.
