Earthing Transformer ( ZigZag wound ) sizing calculation basis and formulae
(OP)
Hi,
Please advise and provide for the Sizing calculation kVA of a Earthing Transformer (ZigZag wound).
Inputs :
Earthing Transformer is for connecting to 22kV, 3 phase 3 wire, 1250 Amp, Isc-25kA.
22kV bus Upstream is connected to 40MVA 230/22kV YNd1 Transformer.
Maximum line fault current is 400 Amp for 30 Sec.
thanks...
