VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for 5000 KVA Transformers
1. What are the typical application scenarios of 5000kVA three-phase oil immersed transformers?
*Power distribution for small and medium-sized factories;
*Electricity supply for commercial buildings, hospitals, or schools;
*Voltage conversion of rural power grids or community distribution systems;
*Power distribution at temporary construction sites.
2. What are the common configurations for its rated input/output voltage?
*High voltage side: 33kV (domestic distribution standard);
*Low voltage side: 400V (three-phase four wire system, line voltage 400V/phase voltage 230V);
3. How to calculate its rated current?
*High voltage side: I=5000kva/33kV/√3=87.48A
*Low voltage side: I=5000kva/0.4kV/√3=7216.9A
4. What are the requirements for the surrounding environment during installation?
*Good ventilation, keep away from flammable and explosive materials;
*The basic platform needs to be level and load-bearing (with an oil content of about 200kg);
*Reserved heat dissipation space (with a side distance of ≥ 0.8 meters from the wall and no obstruction at the top);
*Outdoor installation requires the installation of rain covers or fences.
5. What is the overload capacity of a 5000kVA transformer?
*Short term overload (such as within 2 hours) can reach 150% load (copper coil);
*Long term overload will accelerate insulation aging, and it is necessary to avoid operating beyond the rated capacity.
6. What are the key points to pay attention to in daily maintenance?
*Oil level check: The oil gauge of the oil pillow should be within the marked range;
*Oil temperature monitoring: During normal operation, the top oil temperature is ≤ 65 ° C;
*Leakage inspection: Check for oil leakage in the fuel tank welds and gaskets;
*Regular tests: insulation oil withstand voltage test, winding DC resistance measurement (once a year).
7. How to determine whether insulation oil needs to be replaced?
*Breakdown voltage: below 30kV (new oil standard ≥ 35kV);
*Excessive acid value:> 0.1mg KOH/g;
*High moisture content:> 20ppm;
*Oil color dark black or with carbide particles (needs to be filtered or oil changed).
*Reason: Overload, blocked radiator, oil circulation failure, internal winding short circuit;
*Solution: Immediately reduce the load and check the load; Clean the heat sink or repair the cooling system; Suspend maintenance for internal faults.
9. What protective devices must be configured?
*High voltage side: drop out fuse or circuit breaker (overcurrent protection);
*Low voltage side: air switch (short circuit protection);
*Body protection: gas relay, pressure relief valve, thermometer;
*System protection: lightning arrester (lightning protection), grounding device (grounding resistance ≤ 4 Ω).
