I mean to say that I have heard that charging is not a load...means I can use 1kv transfomer to charge 1400 va inverter.is it true?? Plz elaborate and provide a link if possible
The term charging is normally associated with charging a battery or capacitor. If you have a transformer powering an inverter, the inverter is a load, but it is not charging.
If somebody is talking about charging is not a load it is only a technical way to categorize. But charging is in fact a load for all practical purposes.
CHARGING A CAPACITOR IS CERTAINLY A LOAD. You might have seen a camera with a flash. the capacitor gets charged and it is not instantaneous. It takes a couple of secs to minutes.The battery drains because it charges the capacitor.

Could you rephrase the question? I don't know what you mean by charging, and the concept of charging an inverter does not make any sense to me.
You certainly can NOT use a transformer with kilovolt output to power any inverter I'm familiar with.
Email me if you can explain better what you're asking and I'll take another look.
It's true that 'charging =/= load', but if you connect a charging circuit to a power source, then it is acting as a load.
The transformer isn't charging the inverter, it is supplying power to it, and will need to be sized to handle the inverter demand.
