Answer / ariel

- Draw the per phase diagram of the system
- Express all impedance in per unit values
- Choose a common MVA base and express all Zpu on the
selected common MVA base

Znew= Zpu(MVA base/ MVA)
-Calculate the total per unit impedance of the system
using circuit principle
- Calculate the fault power
MVA fault= MVA base/ Z total per unit

I fault = MVA fault/ 1.73* V

Answer / mak

The fault current of a power transformer will depend on the following;
Transformer Rating (in KVA/MVA)
per unit impedence of the transformer (%p.u.)
line/phase Voltage (VL/VP)
the following formula can be used to find the fault current on the secondary side of a transformer
Fault Current = Transformer Rating /(per unit impedance x phase voltage)

The Values of Transformer Rating, per unit impedance & phase/line voltage will usually be mentioned on the transformer rating plate / data sheet
As an example a 500kVA, 11kV/400V/3-Phase/50Hz transformer with 5% p.u impendence will have the following fault levels on the secondary side

Fault level = 500/(5%)=10000kVA


Fault current = 500/(5% x 400 x 1.732) = 14.4 kA

Remember to use 3phase voltage!

To determine the Healthiness of Insulation we will be performing Dielectric tests i.e Insulation Resistance test, Partial Discharge test,Switching Impulse, Lightning impulse, Tan Delta test ...etc why we required to perform this many test, why cant we do only one test. for Transformer, CT's

why the three phase transformer's star point does not sparks or seperated? while we often see that two phases touches each other it sparks and ocationaly conductor breakes out.
