Good day,
I have a complex problem involving a three phase bank of three single
phase transformers. The phase voltage on the star primary side is 6.9kV
(12kV line-line) and the phase voltage on the secondary center tapped
delta is 115 / 230 V using a 4 wire system. The center tap is between
the red and white phases.
The bank consists of 2 power transformers and 1 lighting transformer.
The lighting transformer kVA rating is less than or equal to 2 times
the rating of the power transformer. For example a bank can have one
75kVA transformer (lighting TF) and two 50kVA transformers (power TFs),
the largest combination being three 75kVA transformers.
I can work out what each transformer coil is rated at (ie 50kVA / 230, 75kVA / 230). How
do I calculate the % current overloading in terms of of each
transformer's coil (phase) current given the line current output of the
delta secondary and knowing that the phase voltage is 230V (115 / 115 V
at the center tap)? This would of course involve calculating the
phase currents in the delta secondary and comparing each phase current
with that transformer's rated coil current. But what complicates the
problem is the fact that the bank is used to supply single phase loads
as well.
(1)The three phase load is shared equally among the 3 TFs i.e.
1/3:1/3:1/3, (2)the single phase load 230 V is shared in the ratio
1/3:2/3:1/3 and (3)the single phase load 115V is shared in the ratio
1/6:5/6:1/6.
Points 2 & 3 do not add up to total of 1. In the case of Pt. 2 it
is meant to signify that the center TF lighting load is twice that of
the other two. In the case of Pt. 3 the center TF single phase (lighting
load) is 5 times the other two.
I have included a diagram to help explain. The center TF is the
lighting TF. Answers with calculations would be much appreciated.
