    Transformer test report - zero sequence values

    Agree, dpc. When it is not measured, best way to judge Z0 is IEC 60076-8 where all possible connections are covered with approximate Z0 for each case.

    Transformer test report - zero sequence values

    1) When we have test report of Z0 measurement, why we go for assumptions? 2) Zo=8.11 % 3) To me 0.393 seems R0 in %. With 0.393 ohms, I2 R loss will be very high, much more than typical copper loss of such a transformer. 4) So X0= Square root( 8.11 square-0.393 square) = 8.1 % 5) X/R =...

    The floating star neutral to earth voltage in transformer.

    Thank you, Waross and Stevenal. When we say capacitive coupling is the reason for the ghost voltages, can you elaborate a bit more. As I understand, this is power frequency voltage transfer from primary. Being PF why it is not getting adding up at neutral? How the impedance of voltmeter acting...

    The floating star neutral to earth voltage in transformer.

    Thank you waross. What is a Wigginton Voltage tester? Moving Iron meter?

    The floating star neutral to earth voltage in transformer.

    How to explain the capacitive coupling and the reported results? L-E and L-N voltages are almost the same, meaning N and E are at the same potential. Then, how was a more than phase voltage measured between N&E? Since phase voltages are equal, a neutral inversion is ruled out.

    The floating star neutral to earth voltage in transformer.

    In a 131/11.5 kV three-phase Dyn Transformer, a balanced 10 kV was applied to the primary, with the secondary neutral floating. The voltages measured on the LV secondary were equal in all phases. The line to neutral voltages were 504 V, the line to earth voltages were 505 V, and the line to...

    Offshore power transformer YNd1 vs YNd11

    As already mentioned, the US follows a Yd1 generator step-up transformer + Dy1 distribution transformer at the consumer end. IEC world follows Yd11 + Dy11 transformers. This is just a practice with no other issues. The voltage vector at the generator and the consumer will be in the same...

    Fault Current Distribution in a ZNyn1 (22kV/0.440kV) Transformer

    If you are loading a ZNyn transformer with a single-phase load, a stabilising tertiary is a must. Please see the attached link for details. ( last sections) How do Zig-Zag Earthing Transformers work? - Applications - Confluence (atlassian.net) https://rhconsult.tiny.us/2aew4ypn

    Transformer Winding Temperature Indication CT Ratios

    The CT ratio depends on the type of WTI you are using. A popular brand has a secondary rating of 2 A. The transformer manufacturer has taken the rated current of the winding as the primary current of CT. It is not necessary, and typically, a higher CT ratio is used. The same CT is used for all...

    Earthing of neutral point of power transformer

    In MV systems, NGR also reduces the risk from arc flashovers consequent to LG faults.

    Two Winding vs. Three Winding Transformer

    Yes. You can have two secondary windings with equal percentage impedances. In India, we have several 315 and 400 kV transformers with 400/33-33 kV YNynyn units at Solar firms. Some of them have 5-limbed core construction without a stabilising delta winding, In 2021, the Central Electricity...

    Transformer MVA rating IEEE vs. IEC

    1) Transformer overloading standards have changed significantly during the past 30 years. The relevant standards today are IEC 60076-7 ed2.0-2017 & IEEE C57.91-2011 for oil-filled transformers and IEC 60076-12-2008 & C57.96-2013 for dry-type transformers. 2) Manufacturers design transformers for...
