Transformer LTC's are spec'd as being a certain percentage of the total - very often +/- 10%. So if you have a transformer with a primary of 100kV and a secondary of 30kV nominal with a lowside LTC, the LTC can adjust the lowside from 27kV - 33kV.

Depending on the type of LTC, there may be different number of steps for this 20% range. Usually these are broken up evenly, so if you have 33 steps - up 16, down 16, and a nominal tap, each tap is 1/16th of 10 percent of nominal lowside voltage; in this case 187.5 volts.

How do you calculate current flow transformer when 240 Vrms is supply?

The secondary current of a transformer is determined by the load and the secondary voltage applied to that load, and this, in turn, will determine the primary current by the inverse of the turns ratio. However, if you are asking about a transformer's rated secondary and primary currents, then you need to divide the transformer's apparent power rating (expressed in volt amperes) by the rated secondary and primary voltages respectively.


How should I calculate this. A single phase transformer is rated at 99kVA The primary voltage is 6.6kV and the secondary voltage is 220V Assume no losses and calculate The full load primary current?

First find the ratio of the transformer. 6600/220 volts. Second find the secondary current, I = W/E, 99000/220. Third divide the secondary current by the transformer ratio. The answer will be the primary current. To check your answer (W (or VA) = V x A) multiply the primary current times the primary voltage and the secondary current times the secondary voltage and they should both equal the transformer's kVA.


What are the two coils in a transformer?

primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.


Is possible to put 3 phase transformer primary as secondary and secondary as primary?

A: The only way can be possible if the transformer is an isolation type. Yes, you can put the input into the secondary side. This will create a step-up transformer.


Is the transformer's iron core called the primary?

No. the primary winding is called the primary; the secondary winding is called the secondary. These are both wrapped around the iron core of the transformer. The core helps magnetically link the primary and secondary, which causes the transformation of voltage and current from primary to secondary.

How do you calculate current on the primary side of a transformer only knowing the turns ratio and the voltage ratio?

The primary current on a loaded transformer depends on the secondary current, which is determined by the load. So, if you know the secondary load current, then you can use the turns ratio of the transformer to determine the primary current:Ip/Is = Ns/Np

Function of tap chenger in transformer?

The tap changer changes the ratio of primary to secondary windings by physically adding or subtracting windings from the primary or secondary. An on load tap changer (LTC) allows dynamic voltage control, which is important when loading of transformers, and the system in general, varies (if the primary voltage sags, the LTC can be used to increase the secondary voltage so customers don't see this sag).


What happen if the number of loops in the primary and secondary coils in a transformer are the same?

If the number of turns in the primary is the same as the secondary, this would be an isolation transformer. Primary and secondary voltages should match (minus the inherent transformer losses), as should the current.

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.

Why you uluminium on primary side of transformer?

How do you calculate the of turn and the secondary voltage of the 15kw transformer?

First of all, transformers are rated in volt amperes, not watts. Secondly, in order to determine a transformer's turns-ration, you need to know its primary and secondary voltage ratings.
