500Mw at 11kv works out to 45000 a

a bit big for any wire manufactured on this planet

suggest you go to a more practical voltage like 132,000V

Answer

Since we are inevitably talking about a three-phase transformer, the line current is determined from

IL= rated apparent power / (1.732 x UL) = (500 x 106) / 1.732 x 11 x 103)

...which works out at 26 244 A which, as the original answer suggests, is not a practical value for this combination.

How do you calculate MVA rating of power transformer?

The product of the secondary rated current and the secondary rated voltage will give you the rated V.A of the transformer.


If a dc voltage of 12v is added to the secondary of step down transformer and rating of transformer is 220 input and 12v output what will be the result from primary of transformer?

A DC voltage added to one side of a transformer has no effect on the other side.


Why transformer rating is not given in kw?

Transformer rating is based on the maximum temperature a transformer can run at. This temperature is dictated by the amount of current flowing through the transformer windings. This is why transformers are rated in KVA (voltage * current), not kW - it doesn't matter what the phase relationship is between voltage and current, just the magnitude of the current.


What is mean KVA Rating of transformer?

copper loss is directly propostional to I (AMPERE) and iron loss directly propostional to V (VOLTAGE) then total losses is equal to volt ampere hence the rating of transformer in KVA. SULTAN


Calculating appropriate low voltage transformer for outside low voltage lighting?

calculate the total sum of lighting power and add 10% as safe operation of the transformer. then select a transformer for that rating. suppose your total lighting power is 300VA. add 10% of the total lighting power so the total power is 330VA. therefore your transformer size can be 330va or more. please follow IEE regulations.

Can you use transformer with your 110 aircon?

A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.


What is the amp rating of 100va transformer?

The amp rating for a 100VA transformer will vary depending on the actual voltage of the transformer. Transformers have both a primary and a secondary voltage.


How do you calculate current capacity of transformer?

The secondary winding's current rating is the rated apparent power of the transformer (expressed in volt amperes) divided by its voltage rating (expressed in volts). This applies to both step down, and step up, transformers.

What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?

A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.

What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?

Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.

How many amps can a 250 va transformer carry?

A transformer is a power source. It will provide voltage to a device. Find the voltage rating on the device, say 24V. 250/24 = ~10A.

Which is better Constant Voltage Transformer or servo stabilizer?

A CVT (Constant Voltage Transformer) is always better than a Servo Stabilizer. But a CVT is costlier than a Servo Stabilizer of same rating.
