3-Winding Transformer Impedance in IEC Short Circuit Study

While calculating transformer impedance in IEC short circuit study impedance correction factor
(KT) is used as per IEC 60909.

Where,
KT - Impedance Correction Factor
Cmax - Voltage factor related to the terminal voltage of the network connected to the low-voltage
Side of the network transformer
xT - Relative Reactance of the transformer
ZTK = ZT X KT
So for a 3-Winding Transformer
