Transformer impedance

Transformer impedance

Transformer impedance

(OP)
Hi, i need some help guys.
I have to simulate a transformer (DYn1) and i need as parameters the Zequal of winding 1, the Zequal of winding 2 and magnetization resistance and reactance. I have computed the R1,X1 for positive sequence(so negative) and R0,X0 for zero sequence, from known data. So the question is, how can i extract the data i need from Z1,Z0 that already known?

RE: Transformer impedance

For the resistance, you can calculate this if you know the transformer losses or the actual X/R ratio. Or assume a typical X/R ratio per IEEE Red Book. The %Z should be on the nameplate or datasheet.

RE: Transformer impedance

(OP)
I have as known data, the ratio of zero-sequence X0/RO, the Ploss of core,the short-circuit applied voltage for positive and zero sequence (Uk1 and Uk0) for a transformer 50 MVA, 150/20 kV. So i found, Z1 and Z0 for positive and zero-sequence, but the simulation program, asks me for Z1 and Z2 of windings 1 and 2. So what's the connection between my known data (positive and zero sequence impedance) and the asking data (impedance of winding 1 and 2)?

No one? Any idea?

RE: Transformer impedance

I would assume the winding impedance is half of the Z1 or Z2 for a 2-winding transformer.

RE: Transformer impedance

For a two winding transformers, it is not possible to allocate the reactance or impedance between two windings to individual windings. This is like allocating distance between two points A and B to individual destinations. But it is possible to do it for three winding transformers. Pioneers thought about it and discussed. See A.Boyajian " Resolution of transformer reactance in to primary and secondary reactances. AIEE Journal June,1925,Page 805

RE: Transformer impedance

I am not sure about this so I pose it as a point for discussion:
The inductive reactance of a coil is proportional to the square of the number of turns.
The primary and secondary are wound on a common core.
Will the ratio of the reactances be in the ratio of the square of the turns ratio?
So, will the reactances of a 480 Volt to 240 Volt transformer be 4:1 or 80% for the primary and 20% for the secondary.

RE: Transformer impedance

waross, what you are considering is self inductances. As we are discussing is the mutual inductance (or leakage reactance) between two windings and hence it becomes indeterminant.

Thanks prc.
