IF we have 500kva transformer 11.0/0.415V, 50Hz. How to calculate the current on HT & LT side, ..

Answer / antaratara ghosh

current on HV side= 500/(1.732*11)
= 26.24 A

current on LV side= 500/(1.732*0.415)
= 695.6 A

Breaker on HV side will be 630 A VCB (since it is the
lowest available VCB and in HV side you have to go for
VCB/SF6)

Breaker on LV side will be =greater than (1.2*695.6)A i.e.
834.72 A
so we consider it to be 1000 A ACB

Answer / sagir

Thanks for answer of this question.
Can you also clarify, on LV side you have multiplied the current with 1.2, why is this??

Also clarify we usually take 3Cx240 & 3Cx300 sqmm Al. cable from HV side. What is the calculation for this cable??

Answer / a.i.a

As, usually the ultimate load current for any distribution system take 20% spare loads for future , so full load current shall be multiplied by 0.2 more (i.e 1.2) to calculated MCCB rating.

hope you got the correct answer.

One of our gas turbine generator unit "1st stage rotor ground fault" alarm was occured several times. we tried to measure some voltage vulue ground fault protection relay (UNS3020a made by ABB and we measured the value of: Ground: 0.9VDC 5V: 5.8VDC 24V: 23VDC u+: 300 – 350mVAC Rf1: 17.5mVAC Rf2: 17.6mVAC The unit still running and the alarm was reset. As of 6pm yesterday and unitl now no alarm happened again. I our protection relay was defective?
