How to Use This Calculator
- Select the transformer type from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the primary and secondary winding values in amperes (A).
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button.
Formula & Methodology
The zero sequence impedance (Z0) of a zig-zag transformer can be calculated using the following formula:
Z0 = (3 * U * U) / (S * I * I)
Where:
- U is the rated voltage of the transformer in volts (V).
- S is the rated power of the transformer in volt-amperes (VA).
- I is the rated current of the transformer in amperes (A).
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Dyn 11 Transformer
U = 11000 V, S = 10000000 VA, I = 833.33 A
Z0 = (3 * 11000 * 11000) / (10000000 * 833.33 * 833.33) = 0.375 Ω
Data & Statistics
| Transformer Type | Rated Voltage (U) | Rated Power (S) | Rated Current (I) | Zero Sequence Impedance (Z0) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyn 11 | 11000 V | 10000000 VA | 833.33 A | 0.375 Ω |
| Dyn 1 | 10000 V | 5000000 VA | 500 A | 0.75 Ω |
Expert Tips
- Always use the rated values of the transformer for the calculation.

Interactive FAQ
What is the zero sequence impedance of a transformer?
The zero sequence impedance (Z0) of a transformer is the impedance seen by a zero sequence current, i.e., a current that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction in all three phases.
Why is the zero sequence impedance important?
The zero sequence impedance is important for ensuring the stability and efficiency of your power system. It helps to prevent overloading and overheating of the transformer.
