why we step down voltage level from 33kv to 11kv and 11kv
to 415v.Instead we can step down voltage from 33kv to 415v
directly using single transformer.
Answer Posted / kiran
It is not advisable to step down directly for following
reasons.
a) If insulation between 33kV and 415V winding fails, then
before triping, for a fraction of second 33kV high voltage
will get connected to 415V system, on which vast users &
equipments are connected.
b) Fault level on 33 kV is more, hence if fault occures on
415V bus side, heavy kA fault current will flow as compared
to 11kV/415V transformer.
But nowadays, 33kV/415V transformers are widely used to
avoid double transformers
