| Post subject: | Utility source impedance |
The utility company has provided me with the actual fault current on the secondary side of the Utility transformer but no source impedance information. Would the source impedance be applicable on the secondary side of the utility transformer? |

The source impedance on the secondary side of the transformer would include the transformer impedance. |

Would the source impedance be applicable on the secondary side of the utility transformer? What is the transformer nameplate KVA rating, %Z and X/R ratio, and how big is the fault current value provided by the utility company on secondary of the transformer? |

2500 kVA at 5.7%Z (X/R unknown), 45kA fault current. |

480V. (Transformer is 24kV to 480V) |
