Loading curve for Power Transformers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the relationship between ambient temperature and the power output of power transformers, referencing IEC 354 for calculations. The user seeks assistance in determining transformer power at various temperatures, given a design temperature of 40°C and a power rating of 25000 KVA. There is a mention of the complexity of the formulas in IEC 354, particularly for calculating hot spot temperature, which complicates programming the calculations. Participants inquire about core losses and whether transformer datasheets provide necessary data. The user ultimately aims to derive a function that defines the power curve based on temperature and other variables.

That's a great comminity here.
Now I have a problem with ambient temperature rise. Let's describe the problem. For the power transformers the power of transformer is related with ambient temperature. And IEC 354 shows how it is calculate for a transformer . But its so complex and I couldn't convert it to computer program. Can anybody know the power of transformer acc to temperature.

For example:
Design temperature of a power transformer : 40°C
Power of the transformer at 40°C : 25000KVA
What will be the power of this transformer at the temperatures of 20°, 30° and 50°C.
Assuming hot spot temp is 118°C

Thanks so much .

Are you referring to the core losses as a function of temperature? That would be specific to the transformer and material used. Don't the datasheets for those transformers give this data?
 
Thanks for replay.
As you see at the attachmend, there is a formula in the IEC 354 for hot spot temperature(Qh) calculation. But this formula is so complex and i couldn't find out a function that indicates power curve(depends K) referring to hot spot and the other variables at the formula.
I mean i am trying to solve this function that gives K.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
