Transformer Stability Tests

The document describes two scenarios for transformer stability tests with short circuits. In Scenario 1, a 10MVA transformer is tested at 10% impedance and shows stability when 415V is applied and the secondary is shorted, with matching currents observed. In Scenario 2, a 100MVA transformer is tested at 23% impedance and also shows stability when 11kV is applied and the secondary is shorted, again with matching currents. The tests confirm the transformers maintain stability under short circuit conditions.

Transformer Stability Tests (Short Circuit)

Scenario 1:

Given Data
10MVA,33/11KV,10%

Formulae
Full load current at HT
𝑀𝑉𝐴
𝐼𝐻𝑇 =
√3 ∗ 𝑉𝐻𝑇

Full load current at LT


𝑀𝑉𝐴
𝐼𝐿𝑇 =
√3 ∗ 𝑉𝐿𝑇

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑝 𝑎𝑡 %𝑍 = %𝑍 ∗ 𝑉𝐻𝑇

Solution
Full load current at HT
10000
𝐼𝐻𝑇 = = 174.9598𝐴
1.732∗33

CTR 200:1

Full load current at LT


10000
𝐼𝐿𝑇 = 1.732∗11 = 524.8793𝐴

CTR 600:1

%𝑍 = 10%
𝑍𝑉 = 0.1 ∗ 33 = 3.3𝐾𝑉 = 330𝑉

Now we apply Test Voltage 415V at primary while secondary is short

174.9598𝐴
𝐼𝐻𝑇𝐴 = 415𝑉 ∗ = 220.0252𝐴
330𝑉

220.0252𝐴
ON CTR Sec, 𝐼𝐻𝑇𝐴 = = 1.100126𝐴
200
524.8793
ON CTR SEC, 𝐼𝐿𝑇𝐴 = 415 ∗ = 1.100126𝐴
330

𝑰𝑯𝑻𝑨 = 𝑰𝑳𝑻𝑨 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚

These Readings you will observe on Differential Relay-Measurement Panel

Scenario 2:

100MVA,132/11KV,23%

Same Formulae as described above,

100000
𝐼𝐻𝑇 = = 437.3994𝐴
1.732 ∗ 132

CTR 1000:1

100000
𝐼𝐿𝑇 = = 5248.793𝐴
1.732 ∗ 11

CTR 12000:1

%𝑍𝑉 = 23% 𝑜𝑓 132𝐾𝑉 = 30360𝑉

In scenario 2 we will Apply 11000V at Primary, while Secondary is short,


437.3994
𝐼𝐻𝑇𝐴 = 11000 ∗ = 158.478𝐴
30360

AT 1000:1,𝐼𝐻𝑇𝐴 = 0.158472𝐼𝑛
5248.793
𝐼𝐿𝑇𝐴 = 11000 ∗ = 1901.737𝐴
30360

At 12000:1,𝐼𝐿𝑇𝐴 = 0.1584721𝐼𝑛

𝑰𝑯𝑻𝑨 = 𝑰𝑳𝑻𝑨 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚

For REF Stability


Circuit arrangement

Supply 415V in one phase and Neutral connection as per diagram,

Short and Ground untested winding (in this case it is Primary)

reading on 64(REF Relay) must be minimum
