How much no load current does a 15 kva transformer draw in 230 volts AC supply?

Answer #1: If it has no load then it acts as an inductor. Find out what the value of it is(in Henry) Answer #2: At no load, you have hysteresis loss, eddy current loss, some copper loss, and dielectric loss. These losses are constant, and are losses in real power (no reactive power, as implied by answer #1).

When purchasing you can specify how much loss is acceptable, as you have to pay for this power used by the transformer. Ultimately the transformer design determines how much losses you will have, so this can vary. A rough estimate for a small transformer would be in the range of .5 - 1% of the rated current.It's best to consult the manufacturer, or the test report if you have it For your case, I'm assuming this is a single phase, 15kVA, with center tapped neutral (so it supplies single phase 115v, or 230 volt across the full transformer).

I'd estimate loss of 75-150 watts, or .3 to .6 amps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
