am designing a 38kV transmission system that feeds delta wye transformers at
from 2500kVA to 150kVA in the USA. When I enter all of the data into SKM and perform the
load flow and Voltage drop calculations the combined votlage drop from the point
of connection to the secondary of the low voltage transformer total 6-8%.
Q1) The NEC requires the voltage drop to be
limited to 5%, but I am at the transmission level - are there any standars that
govern the higher voltage levels?
Q2) To
prevent my calculations from showing such a high voltage drop is it customary
practice to utilize the transformer taps in the SKM project. How else can this
be fixed?
Q3) Typically do voltage drop
calculations restart at the secondary of the transformer?
