Example
1
Transformer:
16 MVA YNd11 Z
k
= 10%
110 kV / 21 kV (84 A / 440 A)
CTs on HW side:
100/5 5P10
Winding resistance R
CT
= 0.07 Ω
(RCT depends on the CT type, INCT and power rating. Let's say
that the selected CT type, 100 A and an initial guess of 15 VA yields
to 0.07 Ω.)
Safety factor c = 4.
