we convert 66kv to 33 kv to 11kv to 440v. why can't we
directly convert 33kv to 440 ?

Answer / dhaval ahirrao
WHILE CONVERTING THE 66KV TO 440V TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS
ARE THERE;
1 THE TRANSFORMER DESIGN WILL BE VERY CRITICAL.
2 TAPPING THAT ARE NEEDED FOR INDUSTRIES WHICH REQUIRES THE
POWER ABOUT 11KV OR 33KV WE CAN'T PROVIDE DIRECT TO THEM. WE
WILL REQUIRE ANOTHER TRANSFORMER FOR STEP UP

Answer / siva
converting very high volyage to very low voltage is
impossible because while making the system to convert the
windings in the machine will damage, and the making of 33kv
to 440v the cost very high, and complex

Answer / k.prakashchandra
440 V supply is for domestic and small industries located at
various places.With 400 V, the lines may extended to max 1
KM considering voltage drop and line losses.33 KV/433V s/s
requires circuit breakers and larger area. Hence can not
erected inside towns along the roads or underground.It is
economical and easier to have 11 KV sub-transmission lines
and 11KV/ 440 V s/s for public utility.

Answer / peria samy
1. We can step up/down voltage in prescribed format, clearly
says 3:1 ratio of the voltage can step up or down
2.More losses
3.Winding will be damaged

Answer / narendra nath
Pl.go to internet giving options for 33kv / 433v we can get plenty of suppliers, and also nesco in Odissa using the same, I have seen the transformers.

Answer / jarvis
In any transformer the power and frequency remains constant.So let the current be 5A(say) then power shall be 66kV x 5A=330kVA. if the voltage is stepped down then the current shall increase in order to maintain the power constant and that amount of current can damage the windings.

Answer / ammar taqvi
we have to use 66,33,11kv from generation to consumer site just for supply but its not useful for consumer b/c its very high power, that's why we convert it into 440 & 220kv by the help of power transformer, step up/step down for mainly losses.

Answer / mvk mohan
nice question. If we want 33kv to 440v we can convert by
using step down transformer.bcoz in our site directly
converting 33kv to 440v.depending upon cost.

Answer / raj
the applicable voltage is 11,33,66,110,220,400 kv like wise for various applications if we covert direct 33 - 440 we didnt get and have to make more expanses 33,11 kv medium voltage uses.
.in power plant electrical design is like wise 440 to 220- 220-11kv or 33 kv ,11-440v aux supply purpose.
in transmission wise step up/step down for mainly losses.

what's the difference between induction generator and synchronous generator?
what is the main function of contactor?????
what is meant by servo motor ? how its operating either AC or DC?
how can we generate electricity????
Is it really necessary to have reactive power in transmission line to transfer the power from one place to other?
i want to ask that as everybody knows that in star connection on star point is called neutral. my question is that why on that poin called neutral. what is the reason behind it. what is the logic behind it. i heared somewhere that on this point all phases current become zero thats why. if this answer is right then prove why on that point is current become zero. if this answer is not right then tell me the right answer. post ur answer here or on my mail address. m.ikram786@yahoo.com m.ikram555@gmail.com. thanks.
What is the difference between EARTH & NEUTRAL?
Why is it that variation allowed in supply voltage to motors is (+ or -)10 %, whereas that in frequency is (+ or - )5 %
Can anybody tell me what the breakdown voltage is for air and what it is for transformer oil please?
