installation must be normalized to the phase-to-phase Voltage and the phase current.
This process is described in the following sections.
8.2.1: Loss Compensation in Three Element Installations
Loss compensation is based on the loss and impedance values provided on the trans-
former manufacturer's test report. A typical test report will include at least the follow-
ing information:
• Manufacturer
• Unit serial number
• Transformer MVA rating (Self-Cooled)
• Test Voltage
• No load loss watts
• Load loss watts (or full load loss watts)
• % Exciting current @ 100% Voltage
• % Impedance
The transformer MVA rating is generally the lowest MVA rating (the self-cooled or OA
rating) of the transformer winding. The test Voltage is generally the nominal Voltage
of the secondary or low Voltage winding. For three-phase transformers these values
will typically be the three-phase rating and the phase-to-phase Voltage. All of the test
measurements are based on these two numbers. Part of the process of calculating the
loss compensation percentages is converting the transformer loss values based on the
transformer ratings to the base used by the meter.
Correct calculation of loss compensation also requires knowledge of the meter
installation. In order to calculate the loss compensation settings you will need the
following information regarding the meter and the installation:
• Number of meter elements
• Potential transformer ratio (PTR)
