How many 16 Amps per phase welding outlet can you install to a 30 KvA rating transformer?

..the questions does not say wether the 30kVA transformer is 3 phase transformer or single phase transformer..but it is implying that a single phase welding load at 16A per phase is to be connect to it, it is assumed then that the transformer is 3 phase transformer..we assume load is rated 240V..
..though not much details is given about the transformer voltage specs. but if is rated 3 phase 415/240V, the approx full load current per phase is given by 30KVAx1.3912=41.736A..
..but if the transformer was rated single phase 240V say, the approx full load current FLC=30000/240V gives 125ampers..
..if you further devide the FLC by the intended load current..
..Recommended no of welders per for a 3 phase 415V transformer and assuming single welding sets =41.736/16=2.6..so you can connect max two welding sets to this transformer per phase,..max 6 weld sets can connect at an approx load factor of 76%..
..for the single phase transformer, FLC/16=125/16, gives 7.8 but is also recommended not to connect more than 6 welding sets to such transformer for the same reasons..

What is a welding transformer?
A welding transformer is an electrical transformer used in welding power supply. It pulls relatively low current drawn from the mains power (typically limited to 15 A to avoid tripping the circuit breaker) and converts it to the typical 50 A to 500 A used in arc welding and higher currents used in spot welding. The main difference between a Normal Step Down Transformer & a Welding transformer , is Not only to Step Down ( lower ) the outlet supply voltage and at the same time increase the Available Output Circuit Current, but to be also able withstand the Short Circuit Conditions on the Welding Output Side and especially for the Magnetic ( Iron Lamination Core ) Part of the Transformer. This Magnetic Path difference prevents the Supply side Electrical Circuit from Oveloading , espcially during the Striking of the Arc, when the Welding Electrode & the Welding Job touch to initiate an Arc, after which the Welding Electrode is lifted slightly by Experience, to maintain the required weld flow. A Normal Transformer of equivalent rating will not be able witstand this operation without burning out.

WHAT is the rating of earth leakage circuit breaker used for welding machines?
yes , it is required so that the leakage current from transformer/electrical windings to metallic enclosure of welding machine does not harm a person/operator & the current is rooted back to earth bajaj mahesh, asst fire & sec officer
What is the maximum transformer rating for distribution transformer?
100MVA
What is the KVA rating required of the testing transformer?
Depends on the kva rating of the devices to be tested using a transformer.
What does the power rating of a transformer imply?
Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.
Can you operate a transformer below kva rating?
What limits the use of a transformer is its operating temperature, as excessively-high temperature will act to break down its insulation. The temperature reached by a transformer is a function of its rating (expressed in volt amperes), so operating a transformer below its rating is perfectly okay.
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.
Do the load carried by a transformer is affected by KVA rating?
yah! definately affects, the kva of transformer is suitable for the certain load according to the rating.
Can i Over load an oil filled transformer?
Any transformer can be overloaded by applying a load above the capacity rating of the transformer.
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.
