Answer / mohamed ibrahim

I told the same as you said when the full load is loaded
(near to 10mva) the cooling method forced air will be
started. but the interview questioner was refused my
answer. so what will be the answer?.

Answer / rax

i dont know what tha nterviewer expected from you. but this is
it. the transformer automatically switches form its 8mva capacity to 10mva capacity as the load increases. for this extra load or increased load the natural cooling method can not be used and hence forced air method is used

0 Answers Roche,

We have a 33/11kv switchyard having 12.5 MVA power transformer. We export & import power through this transformer. When we export power, the PF will be depend on GRID PF & when we import power the PF will be depend on our load PF. but the problem is that,when neither we export nor import but our 33KV vCB is in close position,our meter read the power factor 0.14 to 0.25 at that moment. So how can be we improve the power factor at that moment.
