Technical Notes & Engineering Logic

Variable Definitions

  • Sbase (kVA): Raw connected load converted to Apparent Power (kW / PF).
  • Sdes (kVA): Final design load including Diversity, Growth, and Safety factors.
  • IFL (Amps): Rated full-load current of the selected transformer.

Formulas

  • Sdes: Sbase × Diversity% × (1+Growth%) × (1+Safety%)
  • Current (3φ): I = (kVArated × 1000) / (√3 × VLL)
  • Loading: (Sdes / kVArated) × 100%

Assumptions

  • Standard IEC 60076 ratings used (e.g., 630, 800, 1000 kVA).
  • Efficiency/Losses are not calculated here.
  • Calculations assume a balanced 3-phase system.
