• Motor inrush Kva at Starting (Irsm)=460 x 4.5x471x1.732 / 1000=1688 Kva

Transformer:

• Transformer Full Load Current= Kva/(1.732xVolt)
• Transformer Full Load Current=1000/(1.732×480)=1203 Amp.
• Short Circuit Current at TC Secondary (Isc) =Transformer Full Load Current / Impedance.
• Short Circuit Current at TC Secondary= 1203/(5.75/100)= 20919 Amp
• Maximum Kva of TC at rated Short Circuit Current (Q1) = (Volt x Iscx1.732)/1000.
• Maximum Kva of TC at rated Short Circuit Current (Q1)=480x20919x1.732/1000= 17391 Kva.
• Voltage Drop at Transformer secondary due to Motor Inrush (Vd)= (Irsm) / Q1
• Voltage Drop at Transformer secondary due to Motor Inrush (Vd) =1688/17391 =10%
• Voltage Drop at Transformer Secondary is 10% which is within permissible Limit.
• Motor Full Load Current<=65% of Transformer Full Load Current
• 471 Amp <=65%x1203 amp = 471 Amp<= 781 Amp
• Here Voltage Drop is within Limit and Motor Full Load Current<=TC Full Load Current.
•  Size of Transformer is Adequate.
