Como foi calculado

  • · Peso de partilha de carga: w = S_nom ÷ uk para cada unidade.
  • · Carga da unidade A: S_A = S × w_A ÷ (w_A + w_B); unidade B idem.
  • · Carregamento: S_A ÷ S_nom,A (deve permanecer ≤ 100%).
  • · Condições de paralelo: mesmo grupo vetorial, mesma relação de tensão (≤0,5%), impedâncias dentro de ±10% entre si, relação de potências ≤ 3:1.
  • · Corrente de circulação (desvio de relação): I_c ≈ ΔU ÷ (Z_A + Z_B) em por unidade.

Perguntas frequentes

What conditions must transformers meet to run in parallel?

Per IEC 60076, parallel transformers must match: voltage ratio (within ~0.5%), Vector Group, impedance voltage uk (within ~10%), and preferably power rating ratio under 3:1. Mismatched vector groups cause circulating current and severe overheating. The calculator checks these conditions and reports pass/fail.

How is load shared between parallel transformers?

Load shares inversely with impedance: the Transformer with lower uk carries more load. Two transformers of equal rating with uk 6% and 4.5% split load in the ratio 4.5:6, so the 4.5% unit carries 57%. The calculator computes the load share by impedance and flags overloading.

Why run transformers in parallel?

Parallel operation provides redundancy (one can be taken out for maintenance without outage), allows capacity to be added incrementally, and can improve efficiency at light load by running only one unit. The trade-off is higher fault level at the bus. The calculator models the parallel arrangement and its Fault Current.

What is circulating current between parallel transformers?

Circulating current flows when parallel transformers have unequal voltage ratios or different vector groups, even with no load, causing extra losses and heating. A 1% ratio mismatch can drive 5-10% circulating current. IEC 60076 limits the ratio difference to ~0.5%. The calculator checks for this.

What fault level results from paralleling transformers?

Paralleling transformers roughly sums their short-circuit contributions. Two 1000 kVA, 6% uk transformers give ~48 kA at the LV bus versus ~24 kA for one, so the switchgear must be uprated. The calculator computes the combined fault level so you can check panel ratings.
