Trfr %Z varaition with size

Trfr %Z varaition with size

Hi

I have a 23/11kV, 45/58MVA, delta-star trfr. Z% =  9.8% @45MVA. How do I determine what Z% is at 58MVA? Is there a general formula one can apply to calculate impedances at the different ratings for the same transformer?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Trfr %Z varaition with size

You really shouldn't have to recalculate the %Z for the 2 MVA ratings, but if you must

the % Z at 58 MVA will be 45/58 * 9.8% or about 7.6%.

RE: Trfr %Z varaition with size

You should set the base MVA of your calculations to match the 45MVA rating if possible, so you don't have to do the conversion.

Thanks for that. However, I get that the new impedance is about 12.63% and not 7.6% (58/45 * 9.8%). Zbase =  11.756ohms @45MVA and it is 9.12ohms @58MVA. Thus for a given ohmic impedance the pu impedance must be greater if I express it at 58MVA than 45MVA.

Thanks again.

RE: Trfr %Z varaition with size

Sorry I goofed.  Your result is correct.

You should get the same ohms at both bases.

The 12.63% at 58 MVA is correct.

No worries mate, your input is much appreciated.

Kind regards.
