Power Transformer Testing Procedures

The document describes a test of differential relay stability using a short circuit. It shows a diagram of a test setup with a three-phase voltage source applied to lines protected by a differential relay connected to current transformers. When a temporary short circuit is applied, the relay should see balanced currents on both sides and remain stable. An example calculation is also shown for determining short circuit currents at different voltage levels.

Example:
Short Circuit Current Calculation.
Rating : 100MVA
HV
Voltage
220 kV
Current
262.43 A
% of Impedance (%Z) = 8.05%

LV
132kV
437.40 A

HV MVA = LV MVA = 100MVA


3 x 220000 x I1 = 3 x 123000 x I2 = 100,000,000
3 x 220000 x I1 = 100,000,000
I1 = 100,000,000 / (3 x 220000)
I1 = 262
262.43A
43A
3 x 123000 x I2 = 100,000,000
I2 = 100,000,000 / (3 x 132000)
I2 = 437.40A
%Zv = 8.05%
= 220kV x % of impedance
= 220000 x (8.05/100)
%Zv = 17,710 V
If We may apply 415 V to HV side
HV I primary = (415 x 262.43) / 17710
HV I primary = 6.15 A
HV sec = 6.15 / 300
HV sec = 0
0.0205A
0205A
LV I primary = (415 x 437.4) / 17710
LV I primary = 10.25 A
LV sec = 10.25 / 500
LV sec = 0.0205 A
