Transformer Impedance
2
In Simple Terms Transformer impedance is the % of rated voltage required to push 100% of the rated secondary current when the secondary winding is short circuited.
4
Simplified Equivalent Circuit
Transformer impedance Z = R + jX Z is represented in percent of rated primary voltage to cause rated secondary current in a short-circuited secondary.
5
Transformer Impedance
Transformer Impedance Is A Major Parameter To Enable Parallel Operation Of Transformers For Proper Paralleling The Following Are Required: Same Percentage Impedance For All Units (With Some Tolerance) Same Phase Relationship Between Windings Same Voltage Ratios Similar Power Ratings
6
Maximum available fault current
Calculate the secondary (LS) current at the given MVA Calculate what the impedance related voltage is based on the % impedance. Calculate how many times the calculated voltage will go into the rated primary voltage. Multiply this number by the full load current at the MVA
8
Now The Easy Method Fault Amps = Full Load Amps ÷ Impedance
