The Z (impedance) for Transformers

Hi,
Is there a table or common values for Z, used in short circuit calcs for typical dry type standard transformers. Example 15 KVA, 25, ... up to 125 KVA. 480v primary to 220v/110v secondary. Or, does it have to come from the power co. or manufacturer?
Regards,

Actual values have to come from the manufacturer. In fact they can provide you some typical values for "their" products.

More defined ANSI/IEEE stadards (for North America) exist for transformer rated 500kVA and greater. For smaller units, I am not aware of any standards ( that does not mean they do not exist), but the Z of smaller transformer varies greatly between manufacturers and type.

Typically Z of smaller transformer you describe range anywhere between 1.5% to 3%.

 
ANSI (C57.12, I think... I don't have it in front of me) lists "preferred" or "suggested" transformer impedance values.
