  • Abstract
    It is important that protection engineers of electric utility systems know the fault current levels before setting relays for a specific protection zone. In addition, information about transformer impedances needs to be available for fault current calculations. A manufacturer who constructs power transformers provides a test report that includes information about the positive- and zero-sequence impedance. This impedance is determined by tests as described by the IEEE/ANSI Standard C57.12.90. The standard covers a variety of transformer connections such as wye-delta, delta-wye, and some three-winding transformers, but it excludes transformers with interconnected windings like wye-delta-zigzag. To date, no reference is given as to where this information can be located.
