Can a transformer designed for a particular voltage and
frequency rating be used for different set of mentioned
ratings? Assume that the winding does not get burnt because
of overheating at higher voltage.
If yes, then under which constraint it is possible?



Can a transformer designed for a particular voltage and frequency rating be used for different set..

Answer / iamdon

Yes.

A transformer designed for a particular voltage and
frequency rating can be used for different set of
mentioned ratings as long as ratio of voltage to the
frequency does not deviates from designed value.
By emposing this constraint, the core of the transformer
will not saturate.Since the winding is assumed capable of
sustaining overheat, so only deciding factor is V/f ratio.

i.e,(V/f)=fixed at rated value.
50 Hz at 500V
25 Hz at 250V
75 Hz at 750V and so on.

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir

Electricty is generated at around 16kV, then step up to 220kV for transmission then steped down to power transformers then DTs and then through the LT n/w it reaches the consumer end. At the consumer end 230V supply is required. So, why is electricity not generated directly at 230V and transmitted?
