QUESTION
Two identical transformers have the following information on their name plates:
Z = (1.5+j8.5)%
50 MVA;
50 Hz;
66/11 kV;
ONAN;
Yd11;
The core losses are equal to 1% of the rated power.
The two transformers are connected in parallel and supply a total load of (64 + j48) MVA.
a) Explain the meaning of the following terms found on the name plate of the transformer.
50 MVA
66/11kV
50 Hz
ONAN
yali

(b) Sketch the phasor diagrams for the voltages on the high-voltage side and the low-voltage
side of each transformer and sketch the corresponding connection diagram.
c) Calculate the efficiency of each transformer.
(d) A delta-connected capacitor bank is connected in parallel with the load to improve the
power factor to unit. Calculate the capacitance required per-phase to achieve this.
Calculate the efficiency of each transformer when the power factor is unit.
Failure of one transformer leads to it being replaced by a 100 MVA, 66/11 kV, 50 Hz transformer
with an impedance of (1.2 + j8.0) %. This is done to increase the load supplied by the paralleled
transformers.
Calculate the load on each transformer if the total load supplied by the two transformers is
120 MVA at a power factor of 0.85 lagging.
g) Calculate the power factor if the capacitor bank calculated in part (d) is connected in
parallel with the new load.
