How is transformer rating determined?

How to Calculate the Rating of Transformer

  1. The rating of transformer is given in terms of its kVA, HV/LV voltage and phase rotation (for three phase transformer).
  2. Suppose the load requirement of a utility to be fed is 85 kW, then the kVA rating of transformer should be (85/0.85 = 100).

How do you choose a distribution transformer?

  1. Step 1: Determine the KVA, Amperes or wattage required by the load. Determine the KVA, Amperes or wattage required by the load.
  2. Step 2: Find out the supply voltage.
  3. Step 3: Determine the voltage required by the load.
  4. Step 4: What is the frequency of the supply source?
  5. Step 5: Determine the Marcus transformer model number.

What is the rating of distribution transformer?

The standard ratings shall be 16, 25, 63, 100,160, 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 and 2500 kVA for 11 kV distribution transformers and 100, 160, 200, 315, 400, 500, 630, 1000, 1250, 1600,2000, 2500 kVA for 33 kV distribution transformers.

Which type of transformer is good?

The medium rated power transformer can be up to 50-100 MVA whereas large rated power transformers are capable to handle more than 100MVA. Due to very high power generation, the construction of a power transformer is also critical. The construction includes solid insulating peripherals and well balanced cooling system.

Can transformers be used in parallel?

For supplying a load in excess of the rating of an existing transformer, two or more transformers may be connected in parallel with the existing transformer. The transformers are connected in parallel when load on one of the transformers is more than its capacity.

What is the rating of a distribution transformer?

Distribution transformer rating Distribution transformers are used for lower voltage distribution networks as a means to end-user connectivity. They are generally rated less than 200 MVA and their secondary rating may be one of these, 11 kV, 6.6 kV, 3.3 kV, 440 V, 230 V. Types of distribution transformer

What’s the best way to choose a Transformers?

To use a cliche, it is typically a ‘no-brainer’ to choose smaller transformers. A unit with a kVA rating that is larger from the anticipated load can quickly be picked up.

What is the kVA rating for a three phase transformer?

For single phase transformer: VA Rating = V x I. For three phase transformer: VA Rating = √3V x I. But, we know, the ratings of the transformers are always done in kVA, and both the above formulas are not expressed in kVA.

What is the temperature rise rating of a transformer?

Temperature rise ratings are typically 150 0 C, 115 0 C, and 80 0 C, based on the class of insulation used . Class H – 220 0 C (with 30 0 C winding hot spot allowance) Class F – 185 0 C (with 30 0 C winding hot spot allowance) Class B – 150 0 C (with 30 0 C winding hot spot allowance)
