Transformer Calculations

06/29/2011 7:02 AM

Dear Members,

My Mentor wants to give me an assignment, before that i am to refresh my memory on transformer calculations, where u r given impedance in percentage and u have to convert to the actual ohmic value.

shamefully, i don't remember anything on transformer calculations, i hav'nt touched on that since i left school. i dont even hav a book on that.

Someone pls give me a few examples on this sort of calculations as applies to transformers.

regards,

kebian

You don't believe in paying for books and software do you? Nor doing any of you own work. (I've looked at previous posts and you've been told about this before).

This is not a homework crib site!

Are you sure he has left the school?

I don't really believe the persons that have left school long enough to forget this calculation (the members of the old school like us ) using the SMS language.

TonyS,

i wish to dispel a few erroneous impressions u hav of me.

i do believe in paying for books n softwares, if not for anything at least for it's value as in helping u get want u seek.

only i thought since forums are for sharing some who hav might be willing to give theirs for free.

i have been out of school for five yrs. initially after sch i wanted to do automation- PLC then i realised i was in love with electrical design, now i am not grounded yet but on course to become a very gud electrical and automation consultant.

so as i said i have not really dealth with transformer calc, the last time was 2nd yr undergrad, i dont remember much now.

apparently when the need arises, i just want the short cuts to recollecting all i dont remember.

thank you

Pardon me, but I am of the same opinion as TonyS.

You want to become a good Electrical Engineer, You are in love with Electrical design?

With due respect the way to be in love with this is to study and not get the ready made answers.

OK we give you the answer to the % impedance. But do you really know what it is? For that you should know the transformer design. And with due regards you may be in love with Electrical Design, but you don't know the simplest of them?

I feel I am harsh. But if you want to be a real good engineer and not an impressive one (for that you come over with the problem and search the answer in websites/ search engines/ forums like this and voila the customer is impressed) clear and brush off your basics.

I am now about 30 years off college. Electrical Engineer in mechanical field. And that is much more diverse than your five years in a semirelated field.

I too do the search for answers once in a while but then I look for technical papers (and one of the sources or links I do get from the forums). The answers from any forum for my type of questions, though are some times available, but rarely and may not be authenticated unless I gamble with someone customer's money equipment Your approach looks to be on this line. One has to be hundred or nearby percent sure before taking a drastic step, which you would be required to take in future.

Go back to the basics and study if you do love the subject.

Z (in Ohms) = {(%Z) x 10 x (kV)2 / (kVA)}
