Motor full load current = (Kw x 1000) / (1.732 x Volt (L-L) x P.F
Motor full load current = 300 × 1000 / 1.732 x 460 x 0.8 = 471 Amp.

if we start 1000 kva generator( prime power-800 kw, output voltage-440 v) and
we want to produce 11 KV voltage with a tranformer(step up) to the load of
generator.
what rating s of x-er to be connected.
if 1000 kva rating of x-er , the generator tripped?
or if uses 1500/2000 kva x-er is it safe?

Hello
When you calculated the full load current of the motor, why did you not take into
the account the efficiency of the motor, as i know the full formula is as follows:
(KW*1000)/(1.732*v*pf*eff)
(eff-efficiency).

kW rating given for motors are normally output mechanical power. it must be
converted to input electrical that is why efficiency come in to play.

(1) Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = Volt x locked rotor current x Full load
current x 1.732 / 1000.
(2) Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = Volt x locked rotor current x 1.732/1000
(2) above is the correct relationship.

sir,
Good morning,
we have the loads like 48X2kw(single phase energy meters) + 20X5Kw(3phase
energy meters) + 13kw (separate building purpose) = 209KW . what is the
capacity of Transformer. Please give the detailed formula to know the actual
rating

Load plus 30% to 50% future load add. Then after calculate.

Thanks for the calculation its so helpful, however I have a small doubt.
As regards the motor starting 2 times per hour, no 20% was added to the
motor’s minimum kVA rating to compensate for heat losses within the
transformer as said in many references.
Please clarify , if starting the motor 2 times per hour has little or no impact as
nothing was mention in your calculation.
Regards

I have one compressor with 20HP motor and our transformer is 200KVA, due to
strarting current of motor a voltage drop is there which affects other machines.
How can i minimise the same.

Which better % impedance of distribution transformer, a higher % or lower %?
5.75% or 4.5%?
(reply)
ABANG NIZAMUDDIN
D EC 11 , 20 17
Based on my understanding, selection of Z% of the transformer depends on
the distribution system. If you have another transformer to be paralleled,
where the KVA are similar, we will definitely select the same Z% for both
transformers. This will ensure equal load sharing and avoid circulating
current in the transformers windings.
If your installation solely relying on only 1 transformer, now, you can select
any size of your Z%. This Z% will be useful especially to limit the fault
current. The higher the Z% the lower the fault current can be reduced.
However, in the future, if there is a new installation, you would consider the
branches being connected to your distribution system. Introducing a load /
source in parallel to your system will increase the fault current in your
system.

There’s an error in the calculations above: “Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) =
460 x 2118 x 471 x 1.732 / 1000 = 1688 kVA”
It should be: Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = 460 x 4.5 x 471 x 1.732 /
1000 = 1688 kVA

Dear sir i hope u r doing fine..your website is very helpfull for engineering
articles.many thanks for creating a such type of website.
but in above article there is a slight mistake in calculations.i hope u ll remove
and correct it immediately to avoid more confusions between engineers
Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = 460 x 2118 x 471 x 1.732 / 1000 = 1688
kVA
in above equation 471 is repeating .which should not b repeated
this equation should be
Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = 460 x 2118 x 1.732 / 1000 = 1688 kVA
hope u got my point.

We are going to set up a new project.Biggest motors are of 260 KW x 2 and 245
KW x 4.
Total running load is expected of 3100 KVA.Please let us know the size of
Dist.Transformer of 11 / 0.433 KV when we starts these heavy motors.All
motors are proposed by VFD.We are working around 3500 KVA
Transformer.Please guide us.

It’s v.g refreshable exp , but l have to wander if i missed something here or you
make amistake by the formula :
Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = Volt x locked rotor current x Full load
current x 1.732 / 1000
I think you point to :
Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm) = Volt x locked rotor current x Full load
current x 1.732 / 1000

I have found formula of motor inrush kva at starting time wrong because when i
use your formula the motor kva must be 795353 kva ( motor capacity is 300
kw). but, i see your electrical article 1688 kva.

from the same transformer feeding the large motor.
