II. Professional Transformer Selection Recommendations

Detailed Total Power Calculation:

Total Power of Basic Equipment: 98.25kW

Auxiliary System Power:

- Lighting System: 5kW (Onsite Lighting + Control Room)

- Control System: 3kW (PLC + Computer + Monitoring)

- Household Power: 8kW (Office + Dormitory)

Total Auxiliary Equipment Power: 16kW

Calculation Parameters:

- Simultaneous Utilization: 0.82 (based on equipment operating characteristics)

- Power Factor: 0.85

- Actual Required Power: (98.25 + 16) × 0.82 = 93.7kW

- Minimum Transformer Capacity: 93.7 / 0.85 = 110.2kVA

 Recommended Transformer Specifications:

1. Economic Configuration: 125kVA

- Applicable Scenario: Single-Shift Production (8-Hour Operation)

- Load Factor: 87.4%

- Advantages: Low investment cost and meets basic requirements

2. Standard Configuration: 160kVA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

- Applicable Scenario: Two-Shift Production (16-Hour Operation)

- Load Factor: 68.3%

- Advantages: Stable operation, 30% expansion capacity reserved

- Disadvantages: High initial investment

3. High-Performance Configuration: 200kVA

- Applicable Scenario: Three-Shift Continuous Production

- Load Factor: 54.6%

- Advantages: High operational flexibility, supports future expansion

- Disadvantages: Highest investment cost

V. FAQs

Q1: How should I choose a transformer for different production modes?

A: Choose based on production intensity:

- Single-shift production: 125kVA

- Double-shift production: 160kVA

- Continuous production: 200kVA

Q2: What are the effects of grid voltage fluctuations?

A: When the voltage fluctuates by ±10%:

- A 125kVA transformer may be overloaded

- A 160kVA transformer can still operate stably

- It is recommended to install a voltage stabilizer

Q3: How is electricity bill calculated?

 A: Taking a 160kVA transformer as an example:

- Monthly electricity consumption: approximately 25,000 kWh

- Electricity bill: approximately$2857/month

- Transformer losses: approximately $114/month
