Volatge level Selection
Volatge level Selection
(OP)
We have a few motor driven loads i.e. pumps and compressors, rated from 350KW to 800KW; @ 3000 RPM that are being designed for our fertilizer plant. The volatge level that we are receiving is at 11KV.
Now my question is, what is the most appropriate voltage leve in terms of cost, supply, availability and future maintenance?

Even if you are providing your own transformers there are a lot of advantages to using the same voltages as are commonly supplied by the utility.
In an emergency you may be able to borrow or rent a transformer from the utility. If you increase capacity at a later date, your original transformers will be easier to resell.
You probably want the highest low voltage that is common locally. That may be 400V, 480V, 600V or your local voltage.
