Why we Specify Transformer rating 433 V Instead of 415V

Answer / n. ramesh
Power distribution network is supposed to have a voltage
drop of around 4%. As the utility provider has to assure a
three phase voltage of 415 V at consumer's metering point,
the secondary phase to phase voltage of the distribution
transformer is specifed at 4% higher than standard three
phase-phase to voltage of 415 V, which works out to 433 V.

Appliances rated voltage is 415V. If Trasformer is specied
at 415V, it will further drop down at receving end and
appliances may not work
To compensate Voltage drop at receiving end

Answer / ash
433V is the no load voltage. that is when the transformer
is supplied at its HT side but without any load connected
to the LV side.

Answer / gopalen sv
When the transformer is installed near to the LV distribution and no significant voltage drop occurs because of short length of cables then the problem of high voltage like 250 volts in single phase results in many fused bulbs. Motors rated at 400 V will experience 430 plus volts. Before deciding secondary voltage such conditions should be taken into account.

Answer / andy d
It is to do with the transformer % impedance, As mentioned open circuit LV side of a transformer would measure 433V, Fully loaded the transformer volt drop is equal to the % impedance. A typical 1MVA DY11 transformer would be around 5% impedance at full load, i.e. the secondary voltage reduces voltage to 411V. This is a lower value then 415V however it is not advisable to run transformers at 100% if you want a long life.
