Typical Electrical Figures

  • Rated power: 1000 kVA, three-phase
  • Low-voltage side, 415 V: about 1391 A per phase
  • High-voltage side, 11 kV: about 52.5 A per phase
  • High-voltage side, 33 kV: about 17.5 A per phase
  • Typical impedance: about 5 to 6 percent
  • Typical vector group for distribution use: Dyn11

Choosing Protection and Cabling

  • Size the low-voltage breaker and cables for about 1391 A, with margin for future load
  • Use correctly rated HV fuses or a circuit breaker for the primary side
  • Earth the neutral and the tank to the site earthing system
  • Have a qualified engineer sign off the protection scheme

Confirm With the Supplier

  • Primary and secondary voltage, tap range and vector group
  • Cooling class and oil volume for outdoor units
  • Factory test report and warranty
  • Delivery, offloading and installation support

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cable do I need for a 1000kVA transformer?

Plan the low-voltage cable for about 1391 A plus margin. The exact size depends on length, installation method and local standards, so have an electrical engineer confirm it.

What is the impedance of a 1000kVA transformer?

Typically about 5 to 6 percent, but confirm it on the data plate because it affects fault current and protection design.
