    This document discusses transformer impedance and its relationship to short circuit current and voltage harmonics. It defines impedance as the total current limiting factor for a transformer, which is usually rated as a percentage between 5-6%. A higher impedance transformer results in a lower short circuit current, allowing for a less expensive circuit breaker but contributing to more voltage distortion. While the lower circuit breaker cost is minor, correcting voltage distortion issues can be costly. An example calculation is shown to determine the short circuit current based on the transformer rating, impedance percentage, and full load current.

    General
    This application note addresses the significance of the output impedance of a transformer to short
    circuit currents and voltage harmonic development on the applied source. A quality transformer is
    made with copper coils wrapped around steel laminate. The coils characteristics include
    resistance (R) and inductive reactance (X). The impedance (Z) is equal to the vector sum of
    resistance and inductive reactance.
    Impedance
    Impedance is the total current limiting factor ( ie!" ). #or transformers it is more convenient to
    rate the impedance as a percentage than use its a$solute value. Typical impedance is $etween
    %& and '&. At very low values of impedance ($elow (&) a correlation to efficiency can $e
    esta$lished $ut there is no direct relationship $ecause the resistance varies.
    Fault Current
    The purpose of investigating the impedance is the relationship to the transformer)s short circuit
    current (Isc) and the associated circuit $rea*er fault clearing capacity. According to the +,-. a
    circuit $rea*er)s rating must $e at least /%0& of it)s full rated current. In the following e1ample.
    the circuit $rea*er ampacity is /000amps (2(( 1 /%0&) with a minimum asymmetrical interrupt
    current (AI-) capacity of /3.333 amps. 4ad the output impedance $een (&. the AI- would $e
    %5.565 amps7 requiring a more e1pensive circuit $rea*er $ut rendering a much more efficient
    system. Therefore. a high output impedance transformer requires a lower AI- circuit $rea*er.
    however. the compromise contri$utes to voltage distortion. The lower cost of the circuit $rea*er is
    minor in comparison to the cost to correct the voltage distortion.
