DESIGN OF 11kV/433V TRANSFORMER SUBSTATION

Transformer is required if total load ≥63KW

Total Load in KVA=Total Load in KW / pf, where pf=0.8

Maximum demand in KVA=Total Load in KVA/ Diversity factor, Diversity factor=1.5

Consider 20% extra for future expansion.

Check: Transformer rating ≥ 2.5*HP rating of highest capacity motor

Use Oil cooled Transformer for outdoor substation and Resin cast Dry type transformer for indoor
substation. Winding connection should be delta Star (DYN11) with star side neutral double earthed.

PT: ratio-11kV/110V, Burden-100VA, Class-1(1% error)

Available classes for measuring CT/PT -1,0.5,0.2,0.2s (which indicate accuracy of measurement)

SELECTION OF HT SIDE CONTROL SWITCH

For outdoor substation-630A,250MVA HT Air Break Switch

For indoor substation-630A,250MVA HT ABSFU with HRC fuse as per primary current (ref table).

HT ABSFU is also called LBS (Load Break Switch). Instead of LBS ,VCB with 2 o/c and 1 E/F relay with
DC trip may be used, is economy is not a constrain.
