1 MVA is the same rating notation
1000 kVA equals 1 MVA. Both expressions describe apparent-power rating, not a fixed kW output or a complete design. Use either notation in the enquiry, but send the same electrical duty, supply-system information and installation constraints.
Typical applications: questions, not guarantees
- Industrial or campus networks, commercial developments and other engineered projects may investigate a 1000 kVA / 1 MVA requirement. The application name alone is not a rating-selection rule.
- Explain load profile, standby/continuity arrangements and whether the project is a new installation, extension or replacement.
- Provide any relevant study, protection and terminal-interface requirements from the project engineer.
Oil-immersed or dry-type suitability
Oil-immersed and dry-type construction have different installation, cooling and maintenance considerations. OSTL’s dry-type range is confirmed up to 3 MVA, but this does not confirm every rating/voltage/configuration. Ask the engineer and OSTL to assess the site, ventilation, fire strategy, interfaces and project specification. A dry-type label is not a blanket safety, fire-class or approval guarantee.
OSTL manufactures power and distribution transformers within an overall range of up to 10 MVA and up to 66 kV; the exact rating/voltage combination needs confirmation. Dry-type transformers are a confirmed product line up to 3 MVA. The 66 kV company-range statement must not be applied to dry-type products.
Copper or aluminium windings
OSTL confirms copper and aluminium winding options. The material should be selected within the complete electrical and performance design, not treated as a stand-alone promise of loss, efficiency or life. Ask for the product-specific selection and a clearly stated technical offer.
ONAN cooling and CRGO core requirements remain options/requirements to confirm. Neither is asserted as a guaranteed feature of this enquiry rating.
Specifications on request
No guaranteed losses, dimensions, weight, impedance, prices, stock position or default voltage is published for this rating. Request a signed technical schedule and approved drawing for the design offered.
| Topic | What to request or confirm |
|---|---|
| Electrical system | Exact offered rating, HV/LV voltage, phase, frequency, vector group and tapping arrangement. |
| Construction | Oil-immersed or dry-type design, insulation system, cooling, winding material, core and enclosure requirements. |
| Guaranteed performance | Losses and reference conditions, impedance, temperature limits and other agreed duty requirements. |
| Physical and interfaces | Approved dimensions, weight, fluid quantity where relevant, terminal arrangement, drawings and accessories. |
| Standards and acceptance | Applicable standards/editions, current BIS category/rating scope, agreed test/inspection documents. |
| Commercial scope | Quantity, availability/build-to-order terms, price/scope if quoted, delivery destination and confirmed dispatch timeline. |
Keep the duty consistent across documents
Use 1000 kVA or 1 MVA consistently with the schedule and drawings; do not confuse apparent power with real-power demand. Where multiple transformers or backup sources are involved, have the engineer define their intended operating arrangement.
BIS scope and acceptance documents
OSTL acquired BIS licences in all five major transformer categories in 2020. Request the current licence documents and the applicable product/rating scope; this is not evidence of registration or approval by a utility or procurement platform. Routine tests per IS 1180 / IS 2026 are confirmed; the applicable standard and agreed test/document schedule must be checked for the offered design.
Send a clearer quotation request
- Required kVA/MVA, HV/LV voltage, phase, frequency and transformer construction.
- Application, load schedule/duty, site conditions, interfaces and relevant single-line diagram.
- Specified losses, impedance, temperature requirements and reference conditions, if defined by the project engineer.
- Quantity, delivery state/country, requested dispatch timeline and boundaries for freight, unloading and installation.

↗Questions before you enquire
Is this a confirmed 1000 kVA / 1 MVA stocked model?
No. This page is a rating-specific enquiry guide. OSTL must confirm technical suitability, the actual product design, availability and licence applicability.
Are guaranteed specifications and prices published here?
No. Ask for the offered design’s signed technical schedule, approved drawing and quotation. Performance values, dimensions, weight, price and dispatch terms are not inferred from the rating.
