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.
