transformer primary current with reactor
Engineering and workplace issues. topic
Posted by pk on 30 August, 2008 - 6:11 pm
I can calculate the current on primary side of a transformer if i know the seconday current and voltage and primaty voltage.

but what will be the effect on the primary current if there is a reactor on the primary side and there is provision to change this reactor?

on various reactance value what will be the current in primary side with known secodary current/voltage and primary current?

The effect is only voltage drop across the reactor. During reactor sizing we already known this situation.

The transformer rating will not change, the calculation formula also not change.
Short-circuit current will be changed (Source Transformer-reactor- fault location) and also transformer inrush current become lower (depends on reactor location let say source-reactor and transformer)

thanks ,
the reactor is itself inside the transformer and can be changed with OLTC.
