Power transformers (GSU, transmission) are primarily rated in MVA with focus on high voltage, short-circuit strength, and efficiency at high load factors. Distribution transformers emphasize kVA at lower voltages, diverse loading patterns, and regulation at customer end. Test regimes, duty cycles, and design priorities differ: power transformers handle bulk transfer and higher transients, while distribution units serve many small loads, often with frequent load variation and voltage drop concerns.
