We are shutting down the major loads on 5MVA transformer (25kV/4.16KV), which will be slightly loaded eventually(almost no-loaded). The power factor at the primary feeder will be higher because of the no-load condition. Do we need to correct the power factor for this feeder because of the shedding the loads? To me, the power factor for 25kV system will be higher than before. Are there any other negative impact because of this unloaded conditions?

Do we need to reduce the no load current in an egergized transformer?

Thanks in advance for any inputs.
