of 11 i.e. 11 kVA, 22 kVa, 33 kVA, etc........

Answer / p. h. godavary
Here the question is not correct. Transformer ratings are never in multiples of 11.
It is the Generator voltages that are in multiples of Form factor 1.1(approx.). The voltages are 3300V, 6600V, 11000V. Consequently the normal distribution / transmitting voltages used are 3.3KV, 6.6KV, 11KV, 33KV, 66KV 110KV, .......
Form factor of an alternating current waveform is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the Average Value of the waveform]. In the case of a sinusoidal wave i.e. , an analogue wave, the form factor is approximately 1.11

Answer / ms.gayathri
The rating of transformer is always not in multiples of 11
i.e., the voltages are only in multiples due to the form
factor. Form factor is nothing but the physical size and
shape of a device. Which is approximately 1.11 derived from
the ratio between RMS value and Average value of the sine
waveform(analog).

Answer / ali
Dears question is why in addition of 11.... that is 22 ..33

Answer / amjad
Due to form factor...
The value of form factor is 1.723
So, thats y the rating of transformers r in multiples of
form factor..

Answer / arun
in above of that rating of transformers only will have very
less harmonics...when compare with other rating...

Answer / denish konsam, manipur
Because the load on the transformer depends upon the power
factor. If it is given in KW then the load will be fixed
that means that transformer can be used for only one load.

Answer / abdul wajid
Basically there are two type of losses in Transformer Iron
losses and core losses Iron losses depend upon voltage and
core losses depends upon current so the total losses
depends upon voltage and current hence transformer ratin is
taken as KVA

design of IGBT firing circuit for 11KV
Any one can explain if there is any harm from humming noise heard from air circuit breaker : we have 415 switch board having two incomers from transformers 3.3KV/415V , when bus coupler closed, and open one ACB incomer to work in one of the transformers, the current started hunting around 50 Amps, and heard humming noise from the air circuit breaker, although the load current was only 1200 amps while the ACB capacity is 2500 Amps, and the transformer 1600 KVA. The same didn't happen when taken the other transformer offline. Why this humming noise and current fluctuation? is there any implication or danger, bearing in mind that we just returned everything back to normal and stopped the maintenance of the transformer. Shall we go ahead and ignore this noise?
