Transformer Selection
Design Optimization selects the transformer layout (number of transformers and their geographic
location) and the transformer type (size and kVA rating) that meet URD load demands in the most costeffective manner. Design Optimization uses the following input data to select the optimal transformer
type and layout:
where:
kVAdivis the total diversified peak load downstream of a point in the circuit,
N is the number of customers downstream of the point being considered,
C is the Coincidence function, which maps N onto a number in the interval (0-1], and
th
values indexed by the number of customers (e.g. the nth value in the array gives the value of the
coincidence function for n customers).
Refer to Transformer Selection Example to see an example of how Design Optimization selects an
optimized transformer for a URD.
Conductor Selection
Design Optimization selects the optimal conductor type and layout that meet URD load demands in the
most cost-effective manner using three main parameters:
The known quantities used by the circuit model to determine maximum voltage flicker include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Design Optimization uses these five values to calculate the impedance-per-unit-length for each service
point. Using the impedance-per-unit-length values, Design Optimization then chooses a subset of
conductors that satisfy the voltage flicker requirements from a master catalog of all conductor types.

SIZING TRANSFORMERS
WITH LARGE MOTOR LOADS
By Doods A. Amora, PEE
December 1, 2006)
Solve for:
a) Size of Cable & Conduit
b) Branch Circuit Breaker & Controller Size if Auto-Transformer type RVS
c) The voltage dip during motor start-up using full voltage starter
d) The voltage dip during motor start-up using Auto-Transformer Reduced Voltage Starter tapped at 65%.
To be honest, I wasnt ready to solve the (c) and (d) parts of the problem. To my defense mechanism, I told myself, the
problem was irrelevant. Nandiyan na yan, naka-install na kunyari; bakit kwentahin pa ang voltage dip?
To make the story short, lumipas ang mahabang panahon Then here comes now a real situation. What if one is asked to
design a set-up for a 500 hp motor driving a pump somewhere? Would a 750 kVA transformer be sufficient? Maybe yes,
maybe not! Try solving the problem and one will discover things that are assumed easy but are actually not quite simple!
SIDEBAR 2:
In one brewery I happened to work with, we had two 450 hp 4 kV motors driving ammonia compressors controlled by
Auto-Transformer RVS. Later, three 700 hp motors were added but interestingly this time with across-the-line starters.
The system was directly connected to the Power Plants 4,160 v bus through feeders. No problem was imagined because
the Power Plant as a standard operating procedure, used to operate with significant spinning reserve capacity at any given
time and there were nine (9) generating units to support the loads.
However, when we started-up for the first time one of the three 700 hp compressors, a huge voltage dip occurred and the
neighboring Glass Plant tripped off all its operating air compressors thus shutting down the entire plant. Pandemonium
followed as the Power Plant struggled to recover the voltage by shedding off other major loads. Power Plant finally
recovered but with all major manufacturing plants served by it at shutdown, including the brewery.
The events aftermath saw signs posted on all compressor control panels that reads: NOTIFY POWER PLANT BEFORE
STARTING. Why? Because Power Plant had to add more generators on stream before any starting can be done. This was
to provide the on-line generating capacity large enough to support the starting kVA needed, thus averting objectionable
voltage dips. Interestingly, after the start-up the additional generators had to be shutdown. In the end, the full voltage
starters were replaced with RVS units. In the succeeding breweries being built thereafter, MV Soft Starters were employed.
Again, theres more to it than meets the eye. Recalling back my own PEE board exams, now I understand that after all, the
problem on voltage dip was not irrelevant but a test of engineering competence why I should be given a license as PEE.
Such three-phase fault will bring down the voltage at the secondary terminals from 4,160v to approaching zero, while at
the same time delivering 93.75 MVA of short circuit power to the point of fault. This condition however must of course be
short-lived because some sort of protection upstream must operate to interrupt the circuit quickly, otherwise the
transformer will fail. Transformer damage (known as the transformer short-time withstand) is dependent on the amount of
fault current and the impedance of the transformer. Usually this transformer short-time withstand could only last for a few
seconds.
4.0: SYSTEM BEHAVIOR DURING LARGE MOTOR START-UP
Why is motor starting related to short circuit condition? Partly similar to short circuit condition, motors have a high initial
inrush current when energized and draw heavy load at a low power factor (0.30 lagging for 100 hp & about 0.16 for
1,000 hp motor) for a very short time. This sudden increase in the current flowing to the load causes a momentary
increase in the voltage drop at the supply transformer terminals, the voltage drop along the distribution system, and a
corresponding reduction in the voltage at the utilization equipment.
The magnitude of transient current involved in motor starting is however very much lower than the short circuit condition.
But in effect, switching on to energize a large motor can be likened to a soft short circuit. Like short circuits, the effect
of starting large motors results to voltage dips. The voltage drop at the transformer secondary terminals is proportional to
motor starting kVA over the short-circuit capacity of the transformer. When motor starting kVA is drawn from a system,
the voltage drop in percent of the initial voltage is approximately equal to the Motor Starting kVA divided by the Sum of
this kVA and the Short Circuit kVA.
% Voltage Drop = (Motor Starting kVA) x 100 /(Motor Starting kVA + Short Circuit kVA)
subject motor, a motor is always assumed to require about 1 kVA for each motor horsepower in normal operation, so the
starting current of the average motor will be about 5 kVA for each motor horsepower. When the motor rating in
horsepower approaches 5% of the secondary unit substation transformer capacity in kilovolt-amperes, the motor starting
apparent power approaches 25% of the transformer capacity which, with a transformer impedance voltage of 6.07%, will
result in a noticeable voltage sag on the order of 1%. This sudden increase in the current drawn from the power system
may result in excessive drop in voltage unless it is considered in the design of the system. The motor-starting load in
kilovolt-amperes, imposed on the power supply system, and the available motor torque are greatly affected by the method
of starting used.
The specific starting values for ac motors over hp are indicated in terms of Code Letters on the nameplates of North
American-made motors. NEMA Code Letters indicate the motor starting characteristics as presented in the following table.
TABLE 1: NEMA CODE LETTER DESIGNATIONS (STARTING KVAs)
CODE LETTER KVA per HP
A: 3.15
B: 3.16 3.55
C: 3.56 4.0
D: 4.1 4.5
E: 4.6 5.0
F: 5.1 5.6
G: 5.7 6.3
H: 6.4 7.1
J: 7.2 8.0
K: 8.1 9.0
L: 9.1 - 10.0
M: 10.1 - 11.2
N: 11.3 - 12.5
P: 12.6 - 14.0
R: 14.1 - 16.0
S: 16.1 - 18.0
T: 18.1 - 20.0
U: 20.1 - 22.4
V: 22.5 - and up
The above table means that a 200 hp motor with a NEMA Code Letter G requires a starting kVA of 1,140 to 1,260 kVA
(1,200 kVA on the average) when using Full Voltage (Across-the-Line) motor controller. This starting kVA is also known as
Locked Rotor kVA or sometimes Locked Rotor Amperes.
With the starting kVA of the motor such as described above, we must then determine the voltage dip caused by the motor
inrush on start-up. The ensuing voltage during start-up must stay within the allowable operating voltage of the system. If
such condition happens, then no oversizing of the transformer is required. But when the voltage dip exceeds the operating
requirement of the system, then the transformer must provide extra kVA.
North American motors are rated for 230, 460, 2,300, 4,000, 6,600 or 13,200 volts for use with distribution sub-systems
that are rated at 240, 480, 2400, 4,160, 6,900 or 13,800 volts respectively. Note the difference in motor nameplate
voltages viz-a-viz the transformer terminal voltages. The apparent lower motor voltages than distribution nominal voltages
are deliberately established by manufacturers to deal with the inherent voltage drops in the system such as: internal
voltage drop of the transformer as dictated by its voltage regulation capability, voltage drop along the distribution cables
and the impedance of the system. This could mean that the 4,160 v at the transformer at no-load condition may only be
3,800 v at the motor terminals when the system is already heavily loaded. In this condition, when a large motor is startedup somewhere in the system, the lower will the voltage be as felt by other loads in the system.
Thats why NEMA standard motors are designed to be capable of operating at plus or minus 10% of nameplate voltage.
Therefore, the voltage drop on inrush should not be allowed to drop more than -10% of the rated voltage. This means
208v for 230v or 414v for 460 volt motors. Likewise, 2.07 kV or 3.6 kV for 2.3 or 4.0 kV motors, respectively. It means
that a 4 kV motor can still operate satisfactorily at 3,600 v but any disturbance in the system that brings the system
voltage lower, the affected motors may trip off as provided for by its protection or if not, the motor burns.
