What is a 100kVA transformer?

100kva transformer

To know about 100kva transformers, we need to figure out the differences between 100kW transformers and 100kVA transformers. Kw is short for kilowatt and is a unit we often see on our electrical paying bills. kw means the actual power or working power of the electrical devices. It is not very likely to be a 100kW transformer. But in transformers or generators, kVA is frequently used. The formula of converting kVA into kW is: kVA(apparent power)*pf(power factor)=kw(actual power)

100kVA transformers can be used on many electrical occasions like suburban areas, residential areas, commercial centers, farmhouses, industries, energy stations, and so on.

100 kVA transformer types

For Daelim Belefic, 100kva transformers can be overhead transformers, single phase transformers, three phase transformers, distribution transformers, and dry-type transformers. These types of transformers are of the same principles, but they are built in different constructions, and different types of transformers have different applications. According to different occasions where you want to use your transformers, Daelim offers you ideal solutions.

 

At the same time, 100kVA transformers can also be divided into step up transformers, step down transformers. A step down transformer distributes primary voltage to lower secondary voltage. So the coil number of primary voltage is more than that of the secondary voltage, which means, the ratio of primary and secondary windings is bigger than 1. On the contract, a step-up transformer transforms low voltage into higher voltage, so the winding numbers of primary voltage are less than the secondary voltage, and the winding ratio of primary and secondary voltage is less than 1.

How many amps can a 100 kVA transformer handle?

Amp is short for ampere, as we have mentioned before, it is the unit of the electrical current. 1 kVA usually represents 1000 volt-amps. Volt-Ampere is equal to a Watt. We can see that to convert kVA into amps, we also need to know volts. Here is a formula we can use: I (amps)= S (VA)/ V (volts). By this formula, we can turn kVA into amps. Here are some examples of the amps of different volt:

1 kVA to amp (120V)= 8.33A

1 kVA to amp (220V)= 4..55A

1 kVA to amps (12V)= 83.33A

Let’s take the voltage as 220v (frequently used), amps of 100kVA will be about 455A. Now let’s move on to the next part.

 

Are kV and kVA The Same?

kV and kVA are of different meanings. KV and kvA both are physical units, we can see these two units almost anywhere in our daily life. For example oven, kettle, water heater, and other household appliances on the nameplate written power 300W, voltage 220V, is used to describe the rated electrical parameters of the equipment. Kv is used to describe the voltage size or voltage level of the unit, for example, 10kV system, 35kv system, etc.

 

KV is short for kilovolt while kVA is short for kilovolt ampere. In a transformer, we often see kV in primary and secondary voltages and kVA in rating capacities. In international systems of units, the volt is a unit of electric potential and electromotive force between two points of the conduct wires. It is the ratio of potential energy and charge. kvA is a unit to describe the power capacity, kVA can also be called the apparent power, such as the transformer capacity of 1600kvA in a power system,  and apparent power contains active power and reactive power.

100 kVA Transformer Load Capacity

Most time, we can clearly know about the rated capacity of the transformer, which is often based on kVA. It is also important for customers to know what the load capacity means to a transformer. The load capacity of a transformer tells how many amperes a transformer is designed to load. To know about the load capacity of the transformer, you can confirm if your transformer is too big or small in size. To calculate the load capacity of a transformer, you need to know the line voltage of the secondary output of the transformer, and if it is a single phase transformer or a three phase transformer. The formula of the calculation is kVA*1000/secondary voltage. After knowing this information, you can get started. Taking the secondary voltage as 240v for a single phase transformer, we can calculate that the full load capacity is 416.67 amps. For a 3-phase transformer, let’s take the secondary voltage as 120/208v, the formula will be kVA*1000/voltage*1.732. By this, we can calculate the load capacity as 277.58 amps.

100 kVA transformer specification

The specification of a transformer contained many items. It is difficult to give a specification without clear technical data because customers’ needs usually design transformers' specifications are different international standards. For the Daelim transformer, 100 kVA transformers can be 100 kVA pole mount transformers, 100kVA single phase pad-mounted transformers, 100kVA three phase transformers, and 100kVA dry type transformers. According to different standards like IEEE, CSA, IEC, and other standards for different types of transformers, the specifications are different. If customers do not have specific needs, transformers will be designed according to the standards.

 

100 kVA transformer oil capacity

For different types of transformers, the oil capacities are not the same. For a pole-mounted transformer, the oil weight is 94kg, for a single-phase pad-mounted transformer, the oil is 141kg. Daelim can also provide our customers with more environment-friendly oil like FR3 oil, which is also, of higher price.

 

100 kva transformer dimensions

Transformer dimensions are also different in types in Daelim Transformer. But the sizes are all designed according to the standards. For a single-phase transformer, the dimensions are 770mm in with, 965mm in depth, and 1135 in height. A single-phase pad-mounted transformer is 740mm in width, 940mm in depth, and 910mm in height. The dimensions of the transformers are well-designed to fit the container so that as many transformers can be arranged in the container as possible.

 

100 kVA transformer impedance

The impedance of the transformer is an important specification. It is of great significance to short-circuit current. The standards of the transformer have clear references for impedance and loss. When you increase or reduce the impedance voltage, it is unreasonable if the loss still sticks to the standard requirements. If the impedance voltage becomes smaller, a reasonable change should be: no-load loss becomes larger, load loss becomes smaller; if the impedance voltage becomes larger, a good change should be: no-load loss becomes smaller, and load loss becomes larger.

Like other specifications, the impedance of the 100 kVA transformer is also designed according to standards. Usually, the impedance of the transformer is proportional to the capacity of the transformers. Dealim transformer with 100kVA is 4% of its impedance.

How do I choose a 100 kva transformer?

100 kva transformer

When you choose a transformer, the first thing you should think about is what are you going to do with those transformers. 100 kVA is a relatively small size, so they are one of the best-selling of both business buyers and personal clients in Daelim Transformers. For 100kva pole mounted transformers, they are widely used in suburban areas, farmhouses, ranches, and some other places similarly. And 100 kVA pad-mounted transformers are more widely used in residential areas, uptown areas, parks, commercial areas, schools, hospitals, etc. Besides, we can also customize the specific transformers based on customers needs. And the price of the transformers will be based on the needs of customers.
