Calculating the Short Circuit Current when there is a Transformer in the circuit. Every transformer has “ %” impedance value stamped on the nameplate. Why is it stamped? It is stamped because it is a tested value after the transformer has been manufactured. The test is as follows: A voltmeter is connected to the primary of the transformer and the secondary 3-Phase windings are bolted together with an ampere meter to read the value
of current flowing in the 3-Phase bolted fault on the secondary. The voltage is brought up in steps until the secondary full load current is reached on the ampere meter connected on the transformer secondary.
So what does this mean for a 1000KVA 13.8KV – 480Y/277V.
First you will need to know the transformer Full Load Amps
Full Load Ampere = KVA / 1.73 x L-L KV
FLA = 1000 / 1.732 x 0.48
FLA = 1,202.85
The 1000KVA 480V secondary full load ampere is 1,202A.
When the secondary ampere meter reads 1,202A and the primary Voltage Meter reads 793.5V. The percent of impedance value is 793.5 / 13800 = 0.0575. Therefore;
% Z = 0.0575 x 100 = 5.75%

Let's say I have 2 current carrying conductors C1 and C2 carrying currents of 5A and 10A. They are brought close to each other from a distance of infinity to a distance of 10cm away from each other - 1. What would be the values of current flowing in each conductor when (taking into account effects of interference of each conductor on the other) - a. The currents are AC b. The currents are DC c. C1 is AC and C2 is DC Please explain your answer with mathematical equations and formulas. Please specify the final numeric answer. Please make assumptions and clearly specify them.
