Leak Inductance
The leak inductance can be :
Calculated with simple calculation (Only for radiell placed
windings)
Calculated with FEM program (ABB) (radiell or axiell placed
windings)

For accurate estimates of the reactance a FEM calculation must be done

Made following
assumptions:
HV = 883 turns
Coarse 91 turns
Fine 84 turns.
Result:
Recovery voltage appox 6 kV more than
10 times above our limits.
6 kV equals approx 18mH
Result

Recovery voltage appox 6 kV more than 10 times above
our limits.
6 kV equals approx 18mH.

In ordering data mentioned 2.15 mH compared to my
calculated 18 mH.

18 mH is a normal value for axiell disposed windings (can
be from approx 5 mH and higher)
For radiell disposed windings the leakage inductance
normal is not higher than 5 mH.
Why such big difference?
Some transformer manufactures use the formula mentioned
in a book written ny a competitor to ABB which looks like
this:

This fomula is only valid radiell disposed
windings not axiell.
This could explain the big difference, I
dont know.
