Transformer Fault Current Calculation

This document provides information about calculating fault currents for a transformer with the following specifications: - Primary voltage of 10,000 Vp - Secondary voltage of 400 Vs - Rating of 1000 VA - Impedance of 6% It outlines formulas for calculating the actual secondary fault current considering the transformer's total impedance, and the maximum fault current allowing for impedance in the primary and secondary circuits. The maximum current that can be achieved at the secondary terminals without considering circuit impedance is also noted.

Transformer Actual Earth Fault Current
To calculate the Actual Fault Current in a transformer we can refer to the below formula taken from
BS7671:2008, 411.4.5 and use the above figure for the transformers Total Impedance (Zsec).
Earth Fault loop Impedance Zs =
Voltage to Earth Uo
Fault Current Ia =
Voltage to Earth Uo
Fault Current Ia Loop Impedance Zs
When calculating Fault Loop Impedance Select the Correct Transformer Type Above.
Three Phase Transformers Divide the Values for Vs secondary Voltage by 3 and the VA by 3
For Centre Tapped to Earth (CTE) transformers halve the values for Vs and VA .
For RLV / 110V CTE Disconnection Times & Zs figures refer to BS7671:2008, 411.8 Table 41.6

Transformer Maximum Fault Current Allowing for Loop Impedance
To Calculate the Maximum Fault Current that can be achieved in a circuit fed by a transformer
we refer to the below formula. This formula calculates the loop impedance at the end of a circuit fed

Transformer Impedance
Transformer Impedance is measured in Percent Impedance, this is the Percentage of Rated Primary
Voltage applied to the Transformer's primary winding in order for the rated secondary Full Load Current to
flow in the secondary winding (this test is preformed with the primary winding connected to a Variac
or variable supply and the secondary winding shorted-out).
Transformer Impedance values may vary but typically Blakley Electrics transformers will be between
4 to 5% of primary Voltage. For further details please contact Blakley Electrics' Technical department.
