To Handle 100% Reactive Load
To Handle 100% Reactive Load
(OP)
Gentlemen,
A spec of a 50 MVA, 230-13.8 kV stepdown power transformer associated with a Staic Var Control (SVC) system specifies "This Power Transformer shall be designed to handle 100% Reactive Load".
1)Could any member please explain about the special features of such a transformer?
2)Is it possible to replace this power transformer by a normal power transformer of identical ratings in case of a failure?
Thanks
Kiri

If you looked at replacing it with a standard one, then do the calculation based on its impedance and see if the lowside voltage is excessive.
