Then you are creating a loop - through transformer A and back through transformer B. Be very careful!Nahian said:When transformers with the same turns ratio, but different kVA ratings are paralleled
Paralleled transformers can experience overload due to imbalanced loading, unequal distribution of load, or incorrect sizing of the transformers. This can lead to one transformer taking on more load than it can handle, causing it to overheat and potentially fail.
Overloading can cause damage to the transformers, leading to reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential failure. It can also result in power outages and disruptions to the electrical system.
To prevent overload in paralleled transformers, it is important to ensure that the transformers are properly sized and matched to the load. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the transformers can also help identify any imbalances or issues that could lead to overload. Implementing load-sharing techniques and using protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers can also help prevent overload.
Unequal distribution of load can cause one transformer to carry more load than the others, leading to overload and potential damage. It can also result in decreased efficiency and increased energy consumption.
Some common signs of overload in paralleled transformers include increased temperature, excessive noise, flickering lights, and a burning smell. These signs should not be ignored and should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage.
