It isn't necessarily the case. In the UK electricity distribution system, you have 33/11-kV step-down tranformers (where 11 kV is the secondary side) or 11-kV/400-230-V step-up Transformers (where 11 kV is the primary side).

Why differential relay is not used for 11kv transformers?

It depends what you mean by an '11-kV transformer'; do you mean a primary transformer (33/11-kV transformer) or a distribution transformer (11-kV/400-230-V transformer). Differential protection IS offered on primary transformers.


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 is 11kv convert to 230v?

The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.


What does a primary substation do?

Primary substation - when the transformer is HV/MV or MV/MV. e.g. substation designed for 132kV/33kV or 230kV/22kV or 33kV/11kV etc stepped down for MV distribution (mainly for utilities and heacy industries) Secondary substation - when the transformer is HV/LV or MV/LV. e.g. substation designed for 11kV/400V or 6.6kV/400V etc stepped down for LV distribution (mainly for residential, commercial) sometime referred to as a kiosk substation.


Can a 400-110v step-down transformer be reverse-connected to the secondary of an 11kv-110v transformer to obtain a 400v 3-phase and neutral output from an 11kv mains panel to make an AMF mains input?

Possibly... but only a trained electrical technician would be licensed to do that kind of work!


Why you uluminium on primary side of transformer?

This isn't the case. You can have aluminium or copper on primary or secondary side of a transformer.


Why is the rating of transformer is like 11kv 33kv 66kv?

Because the tranformer calculation for ratings is calculated with the formfactor which is 1.11 constant. Regards Mithin kudva


The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?

The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.


The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?

The primary winding of a transformer is connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.


What is the high tension line?

High Tension transformer means (HT) high voltage transformer.


If a Transformer primary and secondary are equal?

You will have a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer.


What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?

When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
