40 MVA Generator Transformer Weight
40 MVA Generator Transformer Weight
(OP)
Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how to roughly approximate the weight and dimension of single phase ,40 MVA , 11 (or) 13. 8 kV/ 220 kV Generator transformer without going into nitty gritty calculations?I want the information to check the feasibility of transportation by road. Maybe if you all do know some reference standard??
I would appreciate your help.

I think Bill is pretty close with his estimate - an ABB Nitran 275/11.47kV 36MVA 50Hz ONAF design weighed in at 62 tonnes transport mass, with the assembled service mass being roughly 100 tonnes.

RE: 40 MVA Generator Transformer Weight
Total weight of such a transformer s (approx)=70,200 Kg
Transfer weight without oil =48,500 Kg
Transfer weight with oil= 66,200 Kg
However it all depands on the manufacturer. But this can give you an idea.
