I have been asked to confirm if a 1MVA transformer (11KV/400V) is suffient to supply our new premises. The old premises has a maximum demand of approximatley 390KW. It has been so long since i have done anything like this that i am not sure i am going about it the right way, could somebody please help.

Hello Panda

Welcome to the forum.

If you have a power factor of 1.0, then 1MVA = 1MW = 1000KW

If you have a power factor less than 1.0, the KW will be less than the KVA.
KW = KVA x pf.

If you load at the new premises is the same as the old, and if you power factor is greater than 0.4 then the transformer would be sufficient.

Best regards,

Thanks very much for the advice, i was working on that priciple but with a PF of 0.8. I did not think i was to far off but it could be a costly mistake if i agreed and the transformer was undersized.

Thanks again
