The apparent impedance looking into a transformer from one side will not be the same as looking in it from the other, which is why percent impedance is used.

If you are looking from the high voltage winding (I'm labeling #1) to the low voltage winding (#2), you must scale the percent impedance as follows:

(% impedance) x (Winding #1 nominal voltage)^2 / (transformer base VA)

More the transformer impedance less the fault current... so is a high value of transformer impedance good for it?

It depends a lot on the application, i would go with low impedance transformers if am using the transformers for distribution as it will really increase the the maximum fault current. If am using the transformers as step up specially for generators or to charge capacitors, using a high impedance transformer is a good idea as it will decrease the inrush current of the system. you have to see your application and decide what fit that best.

What is the Difference between image impedance and iterative impedance?

iterative impedance is a particular value of the load impedance that can be found which will produce an input impedance having the same value as the load impedance.When connected at one end of the port produces an equal impedance when looking at the other. Image impedance-Two impedance's of two port network,which will terminate the port simultaneously in a way that, at each port the impedance seen in both directions are equal.


Does a transformer convert the current from 240 volts to 120 volt?

Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.


What is impedance triangle?

An impedance triangle has resistance (always positive) in the x axis and reactance (at a right angle to resistance) in the y axis. The line that completes this triangle (the hypotenuse) is the absolute value of the impedance.


Does the impedance of a parallel RLC circuit equal to the value of the resistor?

No. You have to consider the inductor and the capacitor. Impedance of RLC circuit is equal to to the Value of Resistor Only AND Only on Resonate frequency. otherwise u have to cnsider resistance inductance and capacitance together in series.

If impedance of power transformer is increase from 8 to 10 percentage then what will effect?

if the designed value of percentage impedance is change, for general this should affect tow things * if the percentage impedance is decrease this should increase the fualt level current *if the percentage impedance is increase this should increase the transformer losses and tempreture rise so the designed value of percentage impedance is determined according IEC if it is less than or equal 10% the margin should be + or_ 15%, if it is more than 10% the margin should be + or _ 15% so the percentage impedance of this transformer is not accepted according IEC standers

How do you convert 8.2 to a percent?

To convert a number to its percent value, multiply it by 100. So, 8.2 x 100 = 820%


HOW TO CALCULATE THE IMPEDANCE FOR THE TRANSFORMER?

The term, 'percentage impedance', is a little misleading, as it is defined as 'the value of primary voltage that will cause rated current to flow in the secondary winding, expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage'. So, the test is carried out as follows: the secondary winding is short-circuited through an ammeter capable of reading the rated secondary current. A variable voltage is applied to the primary winding. The primary voltage is gradually increased until the ammeter indicates rated secondary current. That primary voltage is then expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage -and that value is the transformer's 'percentage impedance'.


How do you convert Acid Ph to Percent?

You can convert pH to Percent dissociated easily using the Ka value. You can calculate the [H+] from the pH value, the [A-] from stoichiometry, and the [HA] from all of the above. It is easy to find the percent dissociation from here.

What is meaning of 9v-0-9v transformer?

It is kind of transformers called center-tap transformer its main function is to transform primary voltage to 2 secondary voltages or vice versa. In your statement the transformer will convert the input voltage to 2 voltage each is 9v or the opposite it will convert the 2 input voltages with each 9v to a certain value depending on the turns ratio of the transformer.


Relation between kva and fault level?

There isn't enough information here. Available short circuit fault level can be given as a KVA value for different types of faults, but I assume the questioner is looking for a relationshiop between (transformer?) KVA and available short circuit current - If my assumption is correct, there is no direct correlation without knowing the transformer positive and zero sequence impedances. If these are known, you can assume the source impedance is infinite, and calculate the maximum short circuit current through the transformer as follows: lowside fault current for a 3 phase fault on the lowside of the transformer: lowside kV (line to line) / (1.732 x per unit positive sequence impedance x scalar to real impedance), where scalar to real impedance is equivalent to lowside kV (line to line) ^2 / base kVA. For a L-G fault, do the same with zero sequence impedance.


When 440 volts and 300 amps is given as an input to the transformer the output obtained is 11 kva in this secondary current will decrease or not?

Your question reveals a misunderstanding of how a transformer works.The primary current of a transformer is determined by the secondary current, not the other way around. When the secondary voltage is applied to a load, a secondary current flows, and its value is determined by the secondary voltage and the load impedance. This secondary current then determines the value of the primary current.
