Tap position VS Impedance

Anyone has a short article to share with some numbers on how to calculate % impedance at different transformer taps?


Thanks,

  • Thanks Mike.


    The reason behind my question is that i am looking into specifying a transformer which happens to be 11kV/433V. I understand that the normal LV voltage for the UK is 400/230. So i am looking into shifting the taps. 


    I would like to calculate how much the impedance changes and perhaps relate this with the overall permitted Volt Drop in the private consumer installation for a private supply in accordance with the wiring regs at full load.


    Priority here is the impedance calculation as it has a direct effect on the fault levels. Part of the installation is existing and I need to examine the impact.


    Thanks,
