Transformer Questions
(OP)
Sorry if this question has been posted before, I am having a hard time with the search on this one as I don't really know what to ask.
Currently looking at a transformer for a job I am working on and this transformer has to be able to to have power flow both ways. There is a generator on the secondary that during emergency situations will have to power site.
What issues would I have to take into accout when specifiying this transformer?
I spoke with a vendor and they stated that the only issue I would have to address is the bracing, guess the primary of a transformer is braced better to handle the inrush currents.
Thanks
Hank

If you have OLTC installed and intend to use it, you need additional resistor for power flow in another direction.
also as suggested earlier, one needs to consider sutability of vector group, protections, earth connections and in rush current capability.
