Primary Rated Voltage (kV.) = 11.0 . COMMON STANDARD RATINGS FOR OIL TYPE TRANSFORMERS (KVA)
Secondary Rated Voltage (kV.) = 0.415 50 63 100 160 200
Max. Demand Load (kW) = 1100 300 500 800 1000 1500
PF. After Correction = 0.85 2000 2500 3000
Max. Apparent Power (KVA) = 1294
Trans. Type = DRY >>>>> COMMON STANDARD RATINGS FOR DRY TYPE TRANSFORMERS (KVA)
Permissible loading percentage (%) = 90 100 160 200 250 315
Calculated Trans. Rating (KVA) = 1437.91 400 500 630 800 1000
The Nearest standard Trans. Rating (KVA) = 1600 . 1250 1600 2000 2500 3150
Transformer Loading percentage (%) = 81 % * Consult your local area manufacturer for the available ratings.

02- Calculating Over current Protection device rating on the low voltage Side of the transformer :-
Transformer Design Current (Ib) = S(KVA) / (Sqrt (3) x kV) = 2226 Amp.
Nearest Nominal Current of the Protective Circuit Breaker (In) = 2500 Amp. .
SUCCEED RATING
03- Calculating the Prospective Short Circuit Current across the low voltage side of the transformer :-
Short Circuit Fault Current (Isc) = Trans. Design Current (Ib) x 100 / Usc%.
Another Method
Isc = Vno load / {Sqrt (3) x Ztr.}
Trans. Rating = 1600 KVA
04- Calculating natural ventilation openings sizes required for the transformer room :-
Where :-
P= 17.1 KW P = the sum of the no-load losses and the full-load losses expressed in kW.
S= 0.18P/ Sqrt(H) = 2 m2 S = the sectional area of the incoming-air orifice (m 2).
Assume :- H= 2 m S’ = the sectional area of the outgoing-air orifice (m2).
S' = 1.1 (S) = 2 m2 H = height (centre to centre) of the outgoing air orifice above the incoming-air orifice (m 2).
