Design of 10 MVA, 33 (D)/11 (Y) kV

Power Transformer

Vector Group: Dyn11

Impedance: 7.0 %
Taps: ± 10% in 1.25% Step
(on HV for HV Variation)
 Step – 01: Core Diameter

Core Diameter = 4 KVA Rating x 40

Core Area = 0.86 x (p x D2)/4

• Required Core Diameter,

D = 4 10000 X 40 = 400 mm=40 cm
• Core Area = 0.86 x (p x 4002)/4 = 108071
cm2
 Step 2: Core Material & Flux
Density
Core Material: Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO)
Grade : M4, MOH etc.
Flux Density(Bm):Depends on Saturation Curve of the Core
Material

• Required Core Material Selected as CRGO of M4 Grade.

• Required Flux Density Taken as 1.7 Tesla (17000 Lines/cm2)
 Step 3: Calculate (V/T)
V = 4.44 x f x Bm x Ai x T x 10-8
V/T = 4.44 x f x Bm x Ai x 10-8
Where,
V = Voltage Induced (Volts)
V/T = Volts / Turn
f = Operating Frequency (Hz)
Bm = Operating Flux Density (Lines/cm2)
Ai = Core Area (cm2)
T = No. of Turns
• Calculated V/T = 4.44 x 50 x 17000 x 1080.71 x
10-8
= 40.79 Volts/Turn
 Step 4: Current Density,
Conductor Insulation &
Clearances
Current Density is taken as 3.5 Amps./mm2
• Paper Covering, Radial & Axial Blocks
taken as per Standards.
• Clearances between Core & Coil, between
Coils, between Phases etc. taken as per
requirement depending upon Basic
Insulation Level (BIL) requirement of the
windings.
 Step 5: Calculate Number of
Turns in Windings
* No. of Turns = Phase Voltage/(V/T)

• LV No. of Turns = (11000/)/40.79 = 156

Turns
• HV No. of Turns = 33000/40.79 = 809 Turns
• HV Reg. No. of Turns = 10% of HV Turns
= 81 Turns
* NOTE: Rounded to Nearest Integer
 Step 6: Calculate Leg-Length

Adjust Leg Length of the Core so as to

match the required impedance by Trial &
Error Method.

• Calculated Leg Length = 1145 mm

Step 7: Calculate No. of Discs &
Turns/Disc
Adjust No. of Discs according to Leg Length so
as to get desired Conductor
No. of Turns/Discs = Total No. of Turns
No. of Discs

• Required No. of Discs (LV/HV/HVR) =

78/102/48
• Required No. of Turns/Disc (LV/HV/HVR) =
2/8/2
 Step 8: Calculate Leg Center

Leg Center of the core depends on the

Radial Depths of the Windings & the
Clearances provided
Leg Center = D+2x(core-coil & Inter Coil Clearances + Radial Depths of
HV, LV & HVR)+Phase to Phase Clearance

• Calculated Leg Center = 785 mm

Step 9: Calculate Core Weight &
No Load Loss
Core Weight = (2.1 x D + 3 x Leg Length + 4 x Leg Center) x 7.65 x Core
Area x 10-6
No Load Loss (NLL) = Core Weight x Watts/Kg x Building Factor
Where,
Watts/Kg = Loss per Kg of core depending upon the Grade of Core
Material & Flux Density (Bm)

• Core Weight = (2.1 x 400 + 3 x 1145 + 4 x 785) x 7.65 x 108071 x 10-6

= 6130 Kg

• NLL = 1.25 x 6130 x 1.2 = 9195 Watts

 Step 9: Calculate Copper
2
Weight & I R Losses
Length Mean Turn (LMT) = p x Mean Dia. Of Coil
Total Length of Conductor (L)= LMT x No. of Turns
Weight of Copper = L x Crossectional area of Coil (Ac) x Density of Copper
Resistance (R) = (Resistivity of Copper x L)/Ac
I2R/Coil = 3 x (Phase Current in Coil )2 x R

• Calculated Bare Weighs of Copper:

LV = ((p x 479 x 156 x 154.56 x 8.9)/1000000) x 3 = 970 Kg
HV = ((p x 622 x 809 x 33.44 x 8.9)/1000000) x 3 = 1412 Kg
HVR = ((p x 742 x 81 x 39.60 x 8.9)/1000000) x 3 = 200 Kg
• I2R Losses Of Windings @ Normal Tap:
LV = ((524.86)2 x ((0.021 x p x 479 x 156)/154.56)/1000000) x 3 = 26.35 kW
HV = ((101.01)2 x ((0.021 x p x 622 x 809)/33.34)/1000000) x 3 = 30.47 kW
Step 10: Calculate Total Losses

Total Load Loss (LL) = Total I2R Loss + Eddy Current Loss +
Stray Loss
= I2R Loss x 1.06

• Calculated Load Loss = 56.82 x 1.06

= 60.23 kW
