Transformer Capacity (110 kV / 11 kV) 12.5 MVA


Transformer HV Side Voltage in kV 110 kV
Transformer LV Side Voltage in kV 11 kV
Percentage Impedance of Transformer 10 %
Fault Level 125 MVA
So, Fault Current for the above fault is
(At the 11 kV Side of the above Transfomer) 6560.991 A
Hence, if two such transformers are in parallel,
Fault Level will be
(At the 11 kV Side of the above Transfomers) 250 MVA
And the fault current will be
(At the 11 kV Side of the above Transfomers) 13121.982 A

So, if safety factor taken for above current is 2

Hence, Bus bar should be rated for a short circuit


rating of
(At the 11 kV Side of the above Transfomers) 26243.964 A
Which is approximately equal to 26.2 kA
