Transformer Connections and Vectors 2009 8

Y-Y, Y-Delta, Delta-Y connections provide the opportunity for multiple voltages. The vector group of transformer indicates the phase difference between the primary and secondary sides. The phasor representing the high voltage winding is taken as reference and set at 12 o'clock.

Transformer Connections and

Vectors
The main connections to be considered
are:
Primary Secondary
Y-Y, Y-Delta, Delta-Y, Delta- Delta
Y connections provide the opportunity for
multiple voltages, while Delta connections
enjoy a higher level of reliability (if one
winding fails open, the other two can still
maintain full line voltages to the load).

Transformer Connections
(Contd).
Probably the most important aspect
of connecting three sets of primary
and secondary windings together to
form a three-phase transformer bank
is proper winding phasing
The dots are used to denote
polarity of windings.

Vector Group of Transformer


The three phase transformer windings can be
connected several ways. Based on the
windings connection, the vector group of the
transformer is determined.
The transformer vector group is indicated on
the Name Plate of transformer by the
manufacturer. The vector group indicates the
phase difference between the primary and
secondary sides, introduced due to that
particular configuration of transformer
windings connection.

The Determination of vector group of


transformer is very important before
connecting two or more transformers in
parallel. If two transformers of different
vector groups are connected in parallel
then phase difference exist between the
secondary of the transformers and
large circulating current flows between
the two transformers which is very
detrimental to the life of the
transformers.

Phase Displacement between HV and


LV Windings

The vector for the high voltage


winding is taken as the reference
vector. Displacement of the vectors of
other windings from the reference
vector, with anticlockwise rotation, is
represented by the use of clock hour
figure.

The digits (0, 1, 11 etc) relate to the phase


displacement between the HV and LV windings
using a clock face notation. The phasor
representing the HV winding is taken as reference
and set at 12 oclock. Phase rotation is always anticlockwise. (Internationally adopted).
Use the hour indicator as the indicating phase
displacement angle. Because there are 12 hours on
a clock, and a circle consists out of 360, each hour
represents 30.Thus 1 = 30, 2 = 60, 3 = 90, 6 =
180 and 12 = 0 or 360.
The minute hand is set on 12 oclock and replaces
the line to neutral voltage (sometimes imaginary) of
the HV winding. This position is always the
reference point.
