I have a 5 Mva 33kv>13.8 kv 60 hz ( 8.03% impedance) stepdown transformer with Dyn11 vector group used in main incomer supply, with a peak load of 3.8mva.
We are expanding the unit and hence expected load will be 5.5 Mva.
Now, there was proposal to buy a 7Mva transformer of similar specs.
The other option is to use a 5 Mva ( same specs but 8.23% impedance, lying in stock it is used,and is in good working condition) in parrallel to existing 5Mva transformer.
Which one would be a better option ?
