Finding new equivalent transformer impedance is another application of ratio and proportion analysis use in real work of a power transformer engineer. Why this knowledge is important? Answer because when
when you parallel two or more transformers you need to make sure their % Z impedance are very close the reason for that is to make sure the parallel transformers divide the load ampere equally.
Another Problem:
Given 167 MVA %Z =6.23 existing or old transformer.
New Transformer 250 MVA will be paralleled to the existing transformer with 167 MVA rating, Compute the new equivalent %Z impedance in order to divide the load equally.
ANSWER %Z = 9.33 or close enough.
