Best Answer

Large Transformers are filled with oil which circulates to a radiator to get rid of excess heat. A 100 MVA transformer should waste about 1 MW of power on full load, 0.5 MW on no load.

How transformer converts mva to kv?

Transformer does not convert MVA to KV. MVA is unit of power, where as KV is unit of Voltage. Transformer converts voltgae. Step up or Step down.

What is the maximum capacity of 11kv transformer?

It depends on the design of the transformer but 1 MVA is a common size for an 11 kV / 415 v three-phase transformer.


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.


How much power in a 15000 kva transformer?

The power in a 15 MVA (15000 KVA) transformer depends on the power factor. You did not specify the power factor, so I will assume a power factor of 0.92. Simply multiply MVA by PF and you get 13.8 MW.

What is the technical difference between oil cooled transformer air cooled transformer?

The basic difference between the air cooled transformer and oil immersed transormer is: If the heat generated in the transformer winding is capable of being swapped by the sarrounding ambient air without causing any problem to the performance of the transformer then its normally reffered as Naturally Air Cooled transformer or simply air cooled transformer. However when the capacity of the transformer increases, the heat generated in the winding of the transformer is more and the ambient air normally is inadequate to cool the windings and maintain the performance of the transformer. Its because of this reason the transformer windings are submerged in an oil tank. It has been observed that the hydrogen ions present in oil help to maintain the temprature of the winding of the transformer and thus overall performance of transformer.

There is no reason why it shouldn't be. However, the correct symbols are:kV.A not kvaMV.A not mva


What is the capacity of power transformer for 132kva substation?

A 132 kV substation is normally called a grid substation. It would normally use two or more 132/33 kV transformers rated at 90 MVA, or two or more 132/11 kV transformers rated at 30 MVA.
