33kv Fault Level Calculation

03/08/2013 5:11 AM

Total capacity of Transformer 2500KVA 33KV/433V X4Nos =10000KVA, So i want HT Side fault level calculation and total Amps.

Hire an Electrical Engineer.

Fault level on the high side of the transformers will depend first of all on what the utility can provide, so you have to start there. They will have fault current levels for your connection. If you are downstream from that point in your own (privately-owned) system, you will need to do a system fault analysis to find out what the currents are at the transformers. This will also have to include any contribution from generation that you have on site.

As someone else said, hire a qualified electrical engineer to do the analysis for you.

The ht side fault current depends on source fault level indicated by EB grid. This will not have any bearing on your transformer capacity and no of transformers, as long as you do not generate power and export to utility grid.you should find out the fault currents down stream and select devices suitable to withstand such fault currents.also protective relays are to be set based on such fault currents.
