Understanding 25GNDY/14.4kV Notation for Three Phase Transformer Banks

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The notation 25GndY/14.4kV refers to a three-phase transformer bank with a high-voltage winding rated at 25 kV in a grounded wye configuration and a secondary voltage of 14.4 kV. For a three-phase 500 kVA transformer bank, the maximum full-load primary current can be calculated using the formula: Full load current = VA / (1.73 * Primary Voltage). This results in a full-load current of 11.56 A when assuming 25 kV and 20.07 A when assuming 14.4 kV as the primary voltage.

Homework Statement


[/B]
What is the maximum full-load primary current that you could safely design for a three phase 500 kVA transformer bank to provide if it has a high-voltage winding of 25GndY/14.4 kV?

What does the notation 25GNDY/14.4kV really mean? Is it 25kV three phase and 14.4kV single phase?

Homework Equations



Full load current = VA / 1.73*Primary Voltage


3. Attempt at solution

Full load current = 500kVA / (1.73*25kV) = 11.56A *Assuming 25kV for primary voltage

Full load current = 500kVA / (1.73*14.4kV) = 20.07A *Assuming 14.4kV for primary voltage

A google search does turn up uses of the GndY notation, but I haven't been able to figure it out its meaning.

Do you have the textbook's answer to this question?
