FAQs – 2000 KVA Transformer
What is a 2000 kVA Distribution Transformer?
A 2000 kVA Distribution Transformer is a three-phase electrical device rated at 2000 kilovolt-amperes. It converts medium-voltage electricity (like 11 kV, 22 kV, or 33 kV) to low-voltage electricity (like 415 V) for industrial, commercial, or large infrastructure applications. It ensures stable voltage, efficient power distribution, and protects connected equipment from voltage fluctuations.
Where is a 2000 kVA Transformer typically used?
This transformer is commonly used in large factories, industrial parks, data centres, solar farms, commercial complexes, multi-storey residential buildings, hospitals, and utility substations where high-load, low-voltage distribution is required.
What are the key features of a 2000 kVA Distribution Transformer?
Key features include high efficiency with low losses, robust copper or aluminium windings, oil-immersed or dry-type cooling, voltage regulation taps, three-phase operation, overload protection, and compliance with international standards like IEC 60076 and IS 2026.
How should a 2000 kVA Transformer be maintained?
Maintenance involves checking oil levels and quality (for oil-filled types), inspecting bushings and connections, monitoring temperature rise, cleaning dust and debris, performing insulation resistance tests, and avoiding overload to ensure long-term reliability and safe operation.
What load can a 2000 kVA Transformer handle, and is overloading safe?
A 2000 kVA transformer can safely deliver approximately 1600 kW at a 0.8 power factor. Continuous overloading can lead to overheating, higher losses, reduced lifespan, and potential failure. Operating within rated capacity is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
