Deltawye transformers are common in commercial, industrial, and highdensity residential locations, to supply. The primary neutral is shown connected to the neutral of the source and the secondary neutral connected to that coming from the load. This here my friends, is a wyewye connected, 3 phase transformer. One of the more confusing elements of threephase power is the winding connection schemes for inductive devices such as transformers and. Wyewye transformer connections should generally be avoided because of the objectionable characteristcis of such connections. In many applications the neutral connection consists of ground. Easy understanding of 3phase transformer connections delta.
A comparative study of different transformer connections. In this part, well draw a wye wye connected 3 phase transformer, describe polarity marks, magnetic coupling, and what the common wire looks. Introduction to the delta wye transformer connection part 7. Wye wye transformer connection pros and cons electric. The most popular transformer connection in the world. Introduction to the delta wye transformer connection part 1. I found the delta connection to be much more complex, confusing, and easy to mess up compared to. No phase shift, no problems with unbalanced loads or harmonics.
In this section, were going to look at how these transformer phase shifts are actually defined. Introduction to the delta wye transformer connection. Threephase transformer winding connections testguy. Distribution transformer handbook is packed with practical information on transformer concepts, single and threephase transformer connections, and approved procedures for installing overhead and padmount transformers. Introduction to the wye wye transformer connection part 1.
Three singlephase transformers with their primaries and secondaries both connected in wye are shown in figs. Introduction to the wye wye transformer connection part 1 in this part, well draw a wye wye connected 3 phase transformer, describe polarity marks, magnetic coupling, and what the common wire. First, a connection of this type generally requires that the primary neutral point of the transformer windings be connectged to the neutral of the source. This is a formal way of defining it and this is an informal way of defining it. Again, the wye connection is distinguished by a common wire which connects all three windings to a common point or neutral point. This is the first part of the series to the introduction to the delta wye transformer connection.
There are many names for a wye connected 3 phase transformers. The voltage and current relationships between the primary and secondary side is. In this series, were going to heavily focus on the delta connection for obvious reasons. Transformer connections iowa association of electric cooperatives. In the case of three phase transformer windings, three forms of connection are possible. Introduction to the wye wye transformer part 1 transformers. Throughout this series, ive been using this definition for this transformer connection.
