Why 66KV is step down to 11KV and then 433v, not directly 66KV to 433v ?..

Answer / 7anoter4

66 kV it is a transmission line. Distribution line-
connecting power transformer -it is usually 4-35 kV. A
small transformer- up to 3000 kVA -built for 66 kV will be
2-3 times more expensive- including breakers or special
high-voltage fuses. The maintenance is more expensive. A
transformer failure could produce a 66 kV line trip and so
a large number of consumers would remain without energy
supply.
The expensive transmission line connects large transformers
in safe conditions and from here cheaper distribution lines
will get close to the cheaper small transformer locations.

Answer / niresh yadav

:+ As we know that ' from feraday first low when any conductor cut the flux more than flux linkage is more * so when primary side of transformer has 66 kv voltage so indused is high ! In comperision primary turns ratio secondary turns are very low when we change 66 kv to 433 volt than secendary are burns due to induction ! So we convert 66 kv to 11 kv first for protection.

A group of machines (wind turbines) connected with 33KV feeder and each machines are having individual VCB. The 33KV feeder connected with 110KV/33KV substation. The 33KV feeder tripped by over current at Substation and fault recorded at Substation as OC-R&Y phase. Same time the group of machines VCB tripped by over voltage, the fault recorded voltage was above 66KV by numerical Under/Over voltage relay. While grid drop time, this much of voltage hike is possible?
