Problem-2

A three phase, \(\Delta\) -Y transformer with rating \(100 \mathrm{kVA}, 11 \mathrm{kV} / 400 \mathrm{~V}\) has its primary and secondary leakage reactance as \(12 \Omega /\) phase and \(0.05 \Omega /\) phase respectively. Calculate the p.u. reactance of transformer.

SECTION 05

Solution-2

Case-1: HV winding (primary) rating chosen as base value

  • \[\begin{aligned} \mathrm{X}_{01}&=\mathrm{X}_{1}+\mathrm{X}_{2}^{*}\\ &=\mathrm{X}_{1}+\frac{\mathrm{X}_{2}}{\mathrm{~K}^{2}}\\ &=12+\frac{0.05}{(0.0364)^{2}}=12+37.737 = 49.737 \Omega / \text { phase } \end{aligned}\]
    Total leakage reactance referred to primary
  • \[\begin{aligned} & X_{p u}=\frac{\text { Total leakage reactance }}{\text { Base impedance }}\\ &=\frac{X_{01}}{Z_{b}}=\frac{49.737}{1210}=0.0411 \mathrm{p.u} \end{aligned}\]
    p. u. reactance per phase

Case-2: LV winding (secondary) rating chosen as base value

  • Base kilovolt, \(\mathrm{kV}_{\mathrm{b}}=400 / 1000=0.4 \mathrm{kV}\)

  • Base kilovoltampere, \(\mathrm{kVA}_{\mathrm{b}}=100 \mathrm{kVA}\)

  • \[\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{kV}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)^{2}}{\mathrm{MVA}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\frac{(0.4)^{2}}{100 / 1000}=1.6 \Omega\]
    Base impedance per phase
  • Transformer line voltage ratio, \(\mathrm{K}=\dfrac{400}{11,000}=0.0364\)

  • \[\begin{aligned} \mathrm{X}_{02}&=\mathrm{X}_{1}^{\prime}+\mathrm{X}_{2}=\mathrm{K}^{2} \mathrm{X}_{1}+\mathrm{X}_{2}\\ &=(0.0364)^{2} \times 12+0.05\\ &=0.0159+0.05=0.0659 \Omega / \text { phase } \end{aligned}\]
    Total leakage reactance referred to secondary
  • p.u. reactance per phase, \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{pu}}=\dfrac{\text { Total leakage reactance }}{\text { Base impedance }}=\dfrac{\mathrm{X}_{02}}{\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\dfrac{0.0659}{1.6}=0.0411 \mathrm{p}\).u.

Note:

  • It is observed that the p.u. reactance of a transformer referred to primary and secondary are same.

  • In \(3\phi\) transformer of the voltage ratio K is obtained using line values then using this value of K the phase impedance per phase of star-side can be directly transferred to delta side or vice versa
