    Calculation of the X0/R0 ratio for a Zig Zag transformer

    Anyone has any hint for me? I looked at the standard IEEE C57.12.91, but could not find a specific example for a Zig-Zag transformer.

    Calculation of the X0/R0 ratio for a Zig Zag transformer

    I'm trying to calculate the X0/R0 ratio of a Zig Zag transformer. I got the following information: -Winding connection: Zig Zag -Short time neutral current: 3500 A 5 sec. -Continuous neutral current : 250 A -Voltage : 26.4 kV -Zero sequence impedance: 7.5 ohms/ph -No load losses: 1951 W -Load...

    Power transformer inrush current 8 vs 12 times FLC

    Thanks everyone for your answers. I seems that 2500 kVA threshold comes from the McGraw-Edison Distribution System Overcurrent Protection Workshop. However, I could not find the original document.

    Power transformer inrush current 8 vs 12 times FLC

    The IEEE 141-1993 states that in general, the transformer inrush current is approximately 8 to 12 times the transformer full-load current for a maximum period of 0.1 s. However, in the IEEE 242-2001 only mention 12 times the transformer FLC. I see frequently engineer using 8 times FLC as inrush...

    Ambient Temperature for Underground Cable Ampacity Calculations

    Thank you very much everyone. I now understand better why the IEC 60287 and Neher-Mcgrath methods use the soil temperature at cable depth and not the ambient temperature.

    Ambient Temperature for Underground Cable Ampacity Calculations

    Hi, This question has already been posted in two other threads, but the answers provided were not really helpful. In Neher-Mcgrath and IEC 60287, it is stated that the ambient temperature is the soil temperature at cable laying depth. As I understand it, those methods consider an isothermal...
