Transformer loading- Under normal conditions a distribution transformer is

not loaded more than 50%. Transformer will generally have an overloading
capacity of 200% (double their rating) but these conditions are avoided by
load shedding. As per standards [IS-6600] or [IEEE Guide for loading]
transformer loading is kept at 50% loading, with 3-4% loss.
Transformer relocation/ restructured- Also known as Distribution
Transformer (DTR) relocation. In such cases either the transformer of lower
capacity will be replaced by a higher one or may be replaced by the desired
one. For instance if the load demand is 60 kW it is feasible to put a 100 kVA
transformer and not 200 kVA because the balance 100 kVA will not be used.
VAr compensation- Reactive power neither consumes nor supplies energy. It
is useful to visualize the impact of various devices on the reactive power of a
power system as follows:
