Auto Transformer Rating

10/20/2009 11:43 PM

Dear All,

i need your help to decide the rating of three-phase autotransformer for below mentioned loads,

Supply voltage : 3-phase+N, 415V.

Basic M/C Load : 3-phase, 415V, 3.42kW

Device Ratings (kw) phase
Heaters Zone-1 2.3 3phase,415V
Heaters Zone-2 0.6 3phase,415V
power supply 0.12 2phase,415V
Inverter 0.4 3phase,415V
Total load(kw) 3.42

Optional M/C load : 1-phase, 230V,

Device Ratings (kw) phase
Trimming unit 0.66 single phase,230V
blower 2 single phase,230V
Total Load(kW) 2.66

Total Machine Load= Basic machine + Optional units

=3.42+2.66

=6.08kW

incomming only 3-phase,3-wire system with no neutral.

secondary is star connected 3-phase,4 wire system with autotransformer star point as neutral.

what will be the effect of unbalanced load and neutral floating on loads?

For this machine i require two Autotransformers one is only for basic M/C load(3.42kW,3-phase,415V) and the other is for basic M/C with optional M/C loads(3.42kW,3-phase,415V, + 2.66kW,1-phase,230V).

Autotransformer tapings: -20V, 0V, 20V, 200,230,400V, 460V, 550V, 600V

i kindly request you to please send the required ratings of Autotransformers for both the machines.

It is dangerous to use an autotransformer in this application.

Should use single phase isolation transformer for single phase loads.

Dear Carl,

thank you for your feedback.

we are using autotransformer only for m/c which are export to other countries where there is 3-phase supply voltage is other than 415V. In this case if we need to give two seperate transformer for the machine then cost of the m/c will go up.what will be the cost effective solution for this application?
