2000 kva transformer specification

2025-08-11

If you need 2000kva transformers, please contact our company. Here’s a comprehensive technical specification for a 2000 kVA transformer, covering key parameters for both liquid-filled (oil) and dry-type units. Actual specs vary based on application (e.g., utility, industrial, commercial), standards (IEC/IEEE), and manufacturer.

Core Specifications

Parameter Typical Value/Range Notes
Rated Capacity 2000 kVA
Frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz Region-dependent
Primary Voltage (HV) 11 kV, 33 kV, or custom Common: 11 kV, 13.8 kV, 33 kV
Secondary Voltage (LV) 400 V, 480 V, or custom Common: 400V (3-phase, 4-wire)
Vector Group Dyn11 (oil), Dyn11/Yyn0 (dry) Common for LV distribution. YNd1 for HV.
No-Load Loss (P₀) 1.8–3.5 kW (oil), 2.5–5 kW (dry) Higher efficiency = lower losses
Load Loss (Pₖ) 15–25 kW (oil), 18–30 kW (dry) At 75°C/120°C, depends on impedance
Impedance (Z%) 4.5–6% (standard), up to 8–12% Higher Z% limits fault current
Efficiency ≥ 98.5% (at 50–75% load) Complies with IE2/IE3/DOE 2016 standards

Construction & Design

Parameter Oil-Type Dry-Type
Cooling Method ONAN (OA) / ONAF (FA) AN/AF (forced air)
Insulation Mineral oil/Synthetic fluid Vacuum-pressure impregnated (VPI) epoxy
Enclosure Tank with radiators IP20 (indoor), IP23/IP54 (outdoor/coastal)
Winding Material Copper or Aluminum Copper preferred for efficiency
Core Material Grain-oriented silicon steel Laser-scribed for low losses
Taps ±5% (2–5 steps), off-circuit ±2×2.5% (on-load optional)

Environmental & Compliance

Parameter Requirement
Standards IEC 60076, IEEE C57.12.00, IS 2026
Temperature Rise 55°C (oil), 80°C/115°C (dry - F/H class)
Sound Level ≤ 65 dB(A) (oil), ≤ 70 dB(A) (dry)
Fire Safety Non-flammable fluid (oil), self-extinguishing (dry)
Environmental PCB-free, recyclable materials

Protection & Accessories

- Oil-Type: Buchholz relay, pressure relief valve, oil temp. gauge, silica gel breather.

- Dry-Type: Overtemp. sensors (PT100), fan kits for forced cooling.

- Common: LV/HV surge arresters, cable boxes (terminations).

Physical Dimensions (Approx.)

Type Weight Dimensions (L×W×H) Oil Qty.
Oil 3,500–5,000 kg 2.5m × 1.8m × 2.2m 1,000–1,500 L
Dry 2,000–3,500 kg 1.8m × 1.2m × 2.0m N/A

Selection Considerations

1. Application:

- Oil: Outdoor substations (higher fault tolerance).

- Dry: Indoor (hospitals, malls – fire safety critical).

2. Efficiency: Opt for IE3/IE4 class to reduce lifecycle costs.

3. Impedance: Match to system fault level (e.g., 6% for grid, 8% for generators).

4. Location: Coastal sites require C5 anti-corrosion coating.

5. Monitoring: Include IoT sensors (dissolved gas analysis for oil, thermal for dry).

Procurement Checklist

- [ ] Confirm voltage ratios & vector group

- [ ] Specify impedance (%) and loss values

- [ ] Choose cooling type (ONAN/ONAF/AN/AF)

- [ ] Define enclosure rating (IP)

- [ ] Include accessories (bushings, gauges, taps)

- [ ] Require test reports (routine/type/special tests)
