-
The "20 MVA" designation means the transformer can handle a maximum apparent power of 20 million volt-amperes.
-
The primary and secondary voltage levels will be specified based on the application. For example, a 20 MVA transformer might step down voltage from 132 kV to 11 kV, or from 24.9 kV to 4.16 kV, among other possibilities.
-
In many cases, 20 MVA transformers are used as step-down transformers, reducing high transmission voltages to lower distribution voltages that are suitable for industrial or commercial use.
-
20 MVA transformers can be cooled by oil or air, with various cooling configurations available depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
-
Common connection types include Y-Δ (Wye-Delta), Y-Y (Wye-Wye), and Δ-Y (Delta-Wye).
-
A typical impedance value for a 20 MVA transformer is around 5-10%, which is important for voltage regulation and short-circuit protection.
-
Most 20 MVA transformers are designed to be highly efficient, with typical efficiencies in the range of 98-99%.
