Definition: | a conventional value of apparent power, establishing a basis for the design of a transformer, a shunt reactor or an arc-suppression coil, the manufacturer's guarantees and the tests, determining a value of the rated current that may be carried with rated voltage applied, under specified conditions
NOTE – Both windings of a two-winding transformer have the same rated power, which by definition is the rated power of the transformer. For multi-winding transformers the rated power for each of the windings may differ.
