A 1000 kVA ONAN cooled transformer has a load of 500 kVA throughout the day except for a period of 4 hours. What is the permissible overload for a duration of four hours. Assume the permissible load kVA as a fraction of rated kVA is 1.24.
Buchholz relay is gas operated relay. It will operate when internal fault occurs in transformer. It is placed between tank to main conservator. It has two contacts trip and alarm. Use of Buchholz relay in distribution transformer is not economical.
The capacity of reactor = 50 MVAr when it is operated at 415 kV. Impedance of reactor = V2/MVAr = (415*415)2/50 = 3444.5 Ω For 400 kV, Reactive power observed = (400*400)/3444.5 = 46.45 MVAR
Or
VAr capacity of capacitor or reactor is proportional to V²
Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
