Transformer output current @ Different tap

Hi all,


Say we have a distribution transformer which has a nominal current output. If this transformer is tapped at the primary should we assume that the power rating of the transformer is constant and as such the output current will change to satisfy the constant power rating?


I.E. 1MVA, 11kV/433V transformer has a nominal output current of 1333 A. If the primary is tapped at +5%, then to satisfy the transformer apparent power rating remaining constant means the output current now is increased by 5% at 1400A.


Thanks

  • I think you will find that for a 1000 kVA transformer, the manufacturer will give its full load current as 1333A, regardless of its tap.
