Selection of the capacity of 33 kv distribution transformer
The power loss of the transformer changes with the change of the load.
For small and medium capacity transformers, the load is 50%~60% of their rated capacity. This area is generally called the economic operation area of the transformer.
In contrast, the power transformer is less efficient and increases its own loss at full load.The efficiency drops more with a small power factor.
By calculation, the efficiency of a 2500kVA transformer decreases by 0.69% when the power factor is 0.6; even if the power factor reaches 0.8, the efficiency should decrease by 0.52%.
From the point of view of energy saving and loss reduction. Choosing the main transformer capacity according to the economic operation area of the transformer can achieve the minimum loss of the main transformer.
Obviously, this method of choosing the power transformer capacity will make the power transformer capacity greater 30%~40% than the comprehensive load of the substation, although increasing the investment of the main transformer, but from the long-term energy saving benefit it works.

Selection of 33KV distribution transformer quantity
The load of the substation generally fluctuates greatly. In order to make the power transformer work reliably in the economic operation area as far as possible, no less than two power transformers (power transformer N ≥2) should be set up。
And the possibility of parallel operation is considered, so as to determine the operation mode of the power transformer and the substation with hand joint load concentration according to the load situation.
If the load change is large and the capacity ratio is small, we can adopt the operation mode of mother and child changes, and the mother and child changes capacity ratio is 1:0.476 and 1: 0.625.
It is not advisable to use only a single power transformer for operation in the substation.
First, when the power load changes, the load rate is difficult to meet the requirements, the transformer can not operate in the economic operation area;
Second, once the main transformer maintenance, will cause a large area of power failure, causing passive power supply service.

Use of on-load power transformer
In substations with large voltage change with load, on-load regulating power transformer should be adopted to ensure stable voltage output.
For terminal substations transformer with large voltage fluctuation, in order to improve the terminal voltage quality, a power capacitor can be installed at the incoming end line of the substation for reactive power compensation to reduce voltage loss and reduce voltage fluctuation.

Reasonable compensation for reactive power of 33 kv power transformer
Increasing the power factor can reduce the power transformer loss, improve the utilization efficiency, also can reduce the voltage loss and line power loss.
It is estimated that when the power factor increases from 0.7 to 0.95, the transformer can reduce the winding loss by 4.6W/KVA. The line loss can be reduced by about 45%.
At present, in the reactive power compensation technology, the parallel power capacitor compensation technology is widely used.
The key is the choice of compensation point and compensation capacity. If the selection and configuration are not appropriate, the overcompensation will be counterproductive.
Therefore, in the design of the substation, it is necessary to investigate the comprehensive load structure of the substation, such as the continuous production shift of large enterprises, power capacity, power factor, electricity characteristics, etc., after statistical analysis to determine the compensation type of the substation.
Generally speaking, the combination of centralized compensation and decentralized compensation, decentralized compensation and local compensation, power supply enterprise compensation and user compensation should be adopted.
The centralized compensation capacity of the substation is generally decentralized compensated on the distribution line so that the main transformer power factor reaches 0.8. Then increase from the centralized compensation to 0.9 for calculation.
To compensate the reactive power, the control method should be correctly selected according to the compensation requirements and operating conditions of the substation, considering not only the energy saving and loss reduction effect, but also the voltage regulation control.

What is the rating of transformer used in 33 kV distribution transformer?
The rating value of the transformer is mainly as follows:
Rated capacity: Rated capacity refers to the rated at the power of the transformer, with the unit using VA or kVA.
Due to the high efficiency of the transformer energy transfer process, the capacity design of the original and auxiliary side winding is usually equal.
Rated Voltage: rated original, secondary side voltage U1N and U2N.
Original side rated voltage U1N refers to the voltage to be added to the original side of the transformer under rated operation.
The secondary side rated voltage U2N refers to the no-load voltage of the secondary side when the original side plus the rated voltage, and the unit use is V or kV.
The rated voltage of the three-phase transformer means the line voltage.
Rated Current: The current I1N and I2N calculated by the rated capacity and rated voltage is called rated current, in A or KA.
The rated current of the three-phase transformer means the line current.
Rated frequency F: The frequency of the original side of the transformer plus the AC voltage during the rated operation. China, Australia and a lot of European countries standard industrial frequency is 50Hz. Canada, the USA and a lot of American countries frequency is 60HZ.
In addition, the transformer nameplate is also marked with: rated temperature rise θN, rated ηN, etc.

How is a transformer sized or rated?
First to investigate the local power voltage, the actual power load and local conditions, and then refer to the transformer nameplate of technical data selected one by one, generally from the transformer capacity, voltage, current and environmental conditions,
the capacity selection should be based on the user of electricity equipment capacity, nature and use time to determine the required load, in order to choose the transformer capacity.
During normal operation, the power load of the transformer shall be about 75~90% of the rated capacity of the transformer.
When the actual load of the transformer is less than 50% during operation, the small capacity transformer should be replaced.
If the rated capacity is greater than the transformer, the large transformer should be replaced immediately.
At the same time, in choosing the transformer according to the line power supply to determine the primary coil voltage value of the transformer,
according to choose the voltage value of the secondary coil according to the electrical equipment, it is best to choose the low-voltage three-phase four-wire power supply.
This provides both power electricity and lighting electricity.
For the selection of current, it should be noted that the load can meet the requirements of the motor when the motor starts (because the motor starting current is 4~7 times larger than when the sinking operation).
