Study Notes

Transformer and Circuit Overview

Equivalent reactance of each transformer referred to its high-voltage (HV) side is 1.82 Ω.
All circuit resistances are neglected for simplicity.
The transformer rating is 500 kVA with a 24000:2400V (HV to low voltage) line-to-line voltage (Y-Δ connection).
Sending end transformers have an equivalent reactance of 2.76 Ω/phase referred to the 2400V side.
Voltage applied to the primary terminals is 24000V line-to-line.

Short Circuit (SC) Analysis

Steady-state short circuit occurs at the 240V terminals of the receiving-end transformers.
Equivalent impedance for the sending end can be calculated per phase.
Sending end voltage per phase at the primary (2400V side) is approximately 1385V.

Current Calculations

SC current at HV (short-circuit phase current) calculated as 594 A (angle -90°) based on the total impedance.
Line current for the low voltage (LV) or secondary side is 5940 A when referring to the transformer turns ratio.

Transformer Measurements

Inrush current may occur during transformer energizing.
Calculating parameters includes open circuit (OC) and short circuit (SC) tests.
OC test: Determines magnetizing and core losses; applicable metrics include voltage, current, and power readings.
SC test: Used for determining input impedance values through measured current and voltage.

Efficiency and Voltage Regulation

Voltage regulation (VR) is calculated by the change in no-load (NL) and full-load (FL) voltages divided by the full-load voltage.
Efficiency (η) is calculated by relating output power to total power including losses from copper and core.
Maximum efficiency occurs at a certain load condition where copper losses equal core losses.

Example Calculations

A 1000 kVA single-phase transformer example showcases OC and SC test results, aiding in equivalent circuit determination.
Voltage regulation at full load with a power factor of 0.8 lagging is analyzed to be approximately 4.24%.
This includes determining output power and losses during operation at specified parameters.

Load Considerations

The system supplies a balanced three-phase load through a feeder with specific impedance characteristics.
Line-to-line voltage seen at the load while drawing rated current at a 0.80 lagging power factor is crucial for understanding performance.
Equivalent impedance for the feeder is derived from the circuit analysis involving the rated current and voltage drops.

Final Notes on Transformer Connection Types

Transformers may utilize different connections: Y-Δ or Δ-Δ, affecting voltage and current transformations.
Equivalent circuit parameters vary based on whether losses are considered or if simplifying assumptions are made for circuit analysis.
