Why we Specify Transformer rating 433 V Instead of 415V
?

Answer Posted / andy d

It is to do with the transformer % impedance, As mentioned open circuit LV side of a transformer would measure 433V, Fully loaded the transformer volt drop is equal to the % impedance. A typical 1MVA DY11 transformer would be around 5% impedance at full load, i.e. the secondary voltage reduces voltage to 411V. This is a lower value then 415V however it is not advisable to run transformers at 100% if you want a long life.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
