why transformer impedance measure in % (percentage)..

Answer / subbarayalu

The normal method
of expressing transformer impedance is as a percentage voltage drop in the
transformer at full-load current and this reflects the way in which it is seen by
system designers. For example, an impedance of 10% means that the voltage
drop at full-load current is 10% of the open-circuit voltage, or, alternatively,
neglecting any other impedance in the system, at 10 times full-load current, the
voltage drop in the transformer is equal to the total system voltage.

Answer / anonymous

It is because three phase system is most economical out of all possible polyphase system configurations...that's it...

why transformer impedance measure in % (percentage)..

Answer / 7anoter4

Usually group of transformers presents the same short-
circuit reactance in %
For instance, for S[ rated power] up to 2500 [to 3000] kVA
the percent reactance will be vk%=4-8. Ohmically calculated
reactance will be V^2/S*vk%/100 [ V=rated voltage].
For V=10 kV and vk%=6 for S=500 kVA Xk=10^2/0.5*6/100=12
ohm
For V=6 kV and vk%=6 for S=3000 kVA Xk=6^2/3*6/100=0.72 ohm
As one could see it is more convenient to consider only
vk% instead of ohmic reactance

Distribution transformer we provided 2 separate earthing pit for Body and 2 separate earthing pit for neutral,we can not connect separate body earthing pit to other earthing pit but we do metal glanding in secondary side cable termination in both side, transformer and PCC panel (LT Panel), is this safe for transformer and other equipment?
