The number of breakers associated with a transformer can vary depending on the system design and application. Typically, a transformer may have one main circuit breaker on the high-voltage side and another on the low-voltage side to protect the transformer and the connected loads. In some setups, additional breakers for protection and isolation may also be included. Overall, the configuration can range from one to several breakers, depending on safety and operational requirements.

Will REF protect the outgoing cables when the Ct's are fitted at the transformer?

REF protection, when installed and set correctly, will protect everything within the CT's. If the CTs are on breakers, then yes, the cables from the transformer to the breakers will be in the zone of protection. If the CTs used are in the bushings of the transformer, then no.


Why are large transformers designed not to have optimum regulation in order for circuit breakers to be within reasonable size?

Transformer voltage regulation and size of the circuit breakers have no direct relation


How you using ref relay in transformer?

an REF relay (restricted earth fault) is used to provide ground fault protection for a transformer. Its' operation is limited by CTs starred towards the transformer (usually on the transformer bushings or in breakers used to isolate the transformer), so it will only operate for transformer related faults. Because of this, it can be set to operate very quickly.

What is the effect of back charging of 250MVA 15.75KV 240KV generator transformer and how many times one can back charge the generator transformer?

Back charging a 250 MVA generator transformer—where power is applied from the grid side (HV side) instead of from the generator (LV side)—is often done during maintenance checks or system energization. But it’s not something you can do casually. It comes with risks. The main effect of back charging is inrush current—a sudden surge that happens because of the magnetic core getting energized. This spike can go up to 8–12 times the transformer’s rated current, depending on switching time and residual flux. It can stress the winding, insulation, and even trip protection devices. If not planned well, it may cause nuisance tripping or worse, equipment damage. As for how many times you can do it—there’s no fixed limit. But frequent back charging isn't ideal. Each energization slightly ages the insulation and mechanical parts. So, plan it carefully. Always make sure breakers are healthy, relays are tested, and there's proper coordination with the grid. A few power utilities and OEMs like Siemens, GE Grid, and Toshiba Transmission have detailed back-charging protocols in place to avoid surprises. Following those or working with experienced partners is critical to minimize the impact. If you’re a power project owner or plant maintenance head looking to energize transformers without risks—Jindal Electric & Machinery Corporation on pepagora has been quietly helping many industrial and utility clients manage such operations safely.
