large pad mounted oil filled transformer provides power to the

entire facility, making its protective devices much more
important. The following factors have impacts upon and must be
considered when the protection chain is being designed:
Inrush magnetizing current
Over-excitation characteristics of the transformer
Primary line tap changers
Secondary load tap changers
Through fault capability of the transformer
Winding arrangement

The ownership of the power transformers that supply power to

the facility should be determined, as some are the property of
the serving electrical utility, while others are the property of the
facility.

Current Limiting Fast Acting Circuit Breakers

and Transformer Primary Protection
Considerations

When a transformer has power applied or reapplied after an

outage, one can anticipate a normal magnetizing inrush current
between fifteen and twenty times the rated load current for a
very brief period. While this current falls in a few miliseconds,
fast acting current limiting circuit breakers may operate.
