Derive R & X of transformers from Z%?
Derive R & X of transformers from Z%?
(OP)
Is it possible to calculate the zero sequence X, positive sequence R & X if I was just given the Z% of the transformer, say 11%?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

since Z = sqr.root of x2 + r2
If you also know 'x' and 'Z' you can solve for 'r' and likewise, if you know 'r' and 'Z' you can solve for 'x'.
Kind of like asking if you can determine the Current
if I tell you only the Voltage.
When there are three elements, you need to know two of them in order to find the third.

The Australian Standard gives a range of X/R ratios for various MVA sizes of transformers. Therefore if you don't know X and/or R you can used the X/R ratio given in your standard to solve for X (or R) in the equation above from jghrist if you are given %Z.
Should give you a reasonable approximation.

///No. The zero sequence Xo of the transformer is often obtained from the manufacturer if it is not equal to the positive sequence X1. Positive sequence R1 and X1 can be obtained from the transformer test results. The above postings do not differentiate between zero sequence reactance Xo, positive sequence reactance X1 and positive sequence resistance R1.\\\
