How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to
minimise it.

Answer Posted / saravanan

oc and sc test helps to find the total losses means .oc test
gives the core loss .sc test gives the copper loss.if the
transformer is oil cooled means you must check the
conduction or breakdown test on the transformer oil. that
time only we can suggest the winding insulation loss

I am designing new project sub station with 220 kV / 11 kV, 40 MVA capacity. This project have many recifier sets, which can generate 3rd harmonics. Now I have to select vector group of This transformer. To minimise 3rd harmonics, what care should I take in selection of Transformer Vecrtor group? If it is Y-Y with open Delta tertiary then what should be the rating & voltage of Tertiary Winding?
