Abstract

Regarding the nominal voltage change from 380 V to 400 V in LV networks and increasing the maximum voltage from 400 V to 420 V, the distribution utilities started to take a different approach to the MV/LV transformation ratio of transformers, specifically to change of the secondary nominal voltage to 420 V instead of 400 V. Thus, in newly constructed MV/LV TRs as well as during the retrofit of existing TR, transformers connected to the MV feeders have the output voltage 400 V ±2×2.5% and 420 V ±2×2.5% with off load tap changing (except the OLTC pilots).This paper deals with assessment of suitability of transformation ratios of 22/0.4 kV or 22/0.42 kV under actual voltage conditions.
