Abstract
Nowadays, power quality is a challenge for the distribution companies since the new energy policies are directed to a distributed generation system with power electronic based technologies. The reduction of distribution transformers capability when supplying nonsinusoidal load currents has a major impact within capacity reduction in distribution networks produced by technical losses. IEEE Std C57.110-2018, EN- 50464-3 and EN-50541-2 define procedures to derate transformers when supplying nonsinusoidal load currents. The aim of this paper is to compare these procedures through a real case distribution transformer that suffers problems due to high levels of current distortion.This research was funded by the “Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades – Agencia Estatal de
