what is inrush current in transformer?

Answer Posted / chetan & panks

When we charge the Trafo, flux will get generated there,
but when we make get it isolated some flux will remain
there.

Again while we charge the trafo,remaining flux will oppose
the present flux hence high current will get generated,
which is very dangerous for trafo. The current produced as
in above condition is called Inrush Current, which is
flowing for very minor time (i.e. for 4-5 secs)

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.

why do you add the load short circuit impedance when considering short circuit amperage. It seems that you should only consider supply. If you need to consider loads and you don't know what loads are to be added , what would be a good sub-transient reactance rating for the loads?
