Transformer MVA Sizing

ETAP Workshop Notes © 1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc.


Transformer MVA Sizing
• Based on ANSI C57 and IEC 60076 standards
• Considers multiple cooling stages and transformer
types (3-phase & 1-phase)
• Considers altitude correction factors
• Considers temperature correction factors
• Load variation
• Considers short-circuit impedance requirements
• Use connected load or operating load to size the
transformer

Temperature Correction
• Ambient temperature in degree Celsius
• For air cooled transformers use the air
ambient temperature
• For water cooled transformers use the water
temperature
• Based on C57.92-1981 and IEC 76-2

© 1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Transformer Sizing Slide 4


Altitude Correction
• Derate the transformer capacity based on
altitude of the installation
• Derating starts above 1000 m or 3300 ft
• Based on C57.92-1981 and IEC 76-2

Load Variation
• Growth Factor
– Allowance for future load growth
• Load Factor
– The ratio of the average load to the peak load
over a designated period of time
– Load Factor = 100 x ( kWi x Ti ) / ( kWp x Tt )%
– Load Factor = 100 x E / ( kWi x Tt )%

Where:
I = interval of time when the load is non-zero
kWi = load at interval i
Ti = number of hours of interval i
kWp = peak load
Tt = Ton + Toff
Ton = total hours when the load is on
Toff = total hours when the load is off
E = energy (kWh) consumed by load over the
interval

Short-Circuit Impedance
Size Requirement
• Use Primary Short-Circuit kA and FLA to
Calculate Impedance
• Primary 3-Phase FLA = MVA / (kVLL * 3)
• Primary 1-Phase FLA= MVA / (kVprimary)
• Zcalculated =100*(FLAprimary / ISC_primary)

Connected or Operating Load
• Connected Load
– Determine the radial load connected to the transformer
secondary
– Can include spare loads for conservative results
• Operating Load
– PowerStation’s load flow program determines the power
flow through the transformer
– Automatically updated in the transformer required MVA
field (load flow study case info page option)
– Can determine loading in radial or looped systems

Sizing Results and
Automatic Updating
• Sizing results include MVA and % Z for
– Required Size (Actual calculated Size)
– Next Standard Larger Size
– Next Standard Smaller Size
• Automatically Update the calculated rated
MVA, Max MVA and % Z into the Rating
page of the transformer
