how percentage impedence effect on the size of the power
transformer?

Answer Posted / jaswinder

% impedence is use to determine the max fault current the
transformer is capable of delivering to a downstream short
circuit.
Fault current=FLC*100/%imp.
this fault current is use to cal fault MVA
Fault MVA = 1.732 x fault current x V.

eg: If transformer of 2000kVA,5%imp having flc of around
1200A is use to supply to a motor of same flc carrying
capacity and if the voltage drop at transformer terminal is
more than the permissible voltage drop (+- 10%)during
stating of motor then the above transformer will be of
lower rating hence we have to select the transformer rating
higher than 2000kVA eg:-3000kVA (In other words transformer
having higher SC current capability ).If voltage remain
within the rated voltage of the motor then no oversizing of
tranformer is required.

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?
