Transformer vs Generator
Transformer vs Generator
(OP)
Hi all,
is it possible for a 275 kW generator to energize a 225 kVA transformer, and makes it work ?
the inrush of transformer is around 12x In, can the generator supply this current at starting ?
thank you

Ideally the transformer will be unloaded when it is energized.

As far as i know, loads connected on a transformer have no effect on its inrush current, also when the normal distribution is lost, a signal is sent from the ATS to start the genset.
the genset has to reach it's normal operational conditions before the ATS switches to emergency power. Meanwhile the transformer had time to de-energize through ATS grounding.
When comes time the start the transformer, i can't figure out how the genset can supply enough current to energize the transformer windings.
