Transformer Impedance Considerations

The impedance of a transformer has an influence on several

factors that impact how the transformer interacts with the rest
of the power system. As the impedance of a transformer
decreases the amount of secondary fault current increases. A
transformer with an impedance of some 5% will develop twenty
times the full load secondary current under short circuit
conditions. When full loaded the voltage drop of the secondary
should equal the transformers impedance. The voltage drop will
vary with the power factor of the load connected to the
secondary. The table below outlines these effects.

Protecting Liquid-Oil Filled Transformers

The oil in an oil-filled transformer not only conducts heat from

the core and the windings, it also acts as an electrically
insulating liquid. Oil filled transformers may experience inrush
