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.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
