Per Unit Change of MVA BaseParameters for equipment are often given using

power rating of equipment as the MVA baseTo analyze a system all per unit data must be on

a common power base

Per Unit Change of Base Example

•A 54 MVA transformer has a leakage reactance of 3.69% (on its own MVA base). •What is the reactance on a 100 MVA base?

Transformer ReactanceTransformer reactance is often specified as a

percentage, say 10%. This is a per unit value expressed as a percentage on the power base of the transformer.

Example: A 350 MVA, 230/20 kV transformer has leakage reactance of 10%. What is p.u. value on 100 MVA base? What is value in ohms (230 kV)?

Three Phase Transformers•There are 4 different ways to connect 3 transformers

Y-Y -

Usually 3 transformers are constructed so all windingsshare a common core 6

Y-Y Connection: Per Phase Model

Per phase analysis of Y-Y connections is exactly the same as analysis of a single phase transformer.

Y-Y connections are common in transmission systems.

Key advantages are the ability to ground each side and there is no phase shift is introduced.

- Connection: 3 Detailed Model

To use the per phase equivalent we need to usethe delta-wye load transformation

12

- Connection: Per Phase Model

Per phase analysis similar to Y-Y except impedances are decreased by a factor of 3.

Key disadvantage is - connections can not be grounded; not commonly used.

-Y Connection: Per Phase Model

Note: Connection introduces a 30 degree phase shift!

Common for transmission/distribution step-down sincethere is a neutral on the low voltage side.

Even if a = 1 there is a sqrt(3) step-up ratio

16

Y- Connection: Per Phase Model

Exact opposite of the -Y connection, now with a phase shift of -30 degrees.
