Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineering Technician AMAT/ SETAS Course: EET-216 DRAWINGS & INSTALLATION 3 Name: 1. Kugaraj Ravishnagar Name: 2. 301184311 Name: 3. Name and ID #. Lab Station # 05 Lab Computer #05 Lab # 5 Wye and Delta 3-phase connections Introduction: Three phase transformers are used throughout industry. Almost all power generated in North America is three phase. Three-phase transformer banks are used in three-phase ac power circuits for basically the same reasons as single-phase power transformers in single-phase ac circuits, i.e., to step-up or step-down the voltages in the circuit and to provide electrical isolation between the primary and the secondary windings. However, the special properties of certain three-phase transformer configurations allow three-phase transformer banks to be used in a few additional applications. The primary uses of three-phase transformer banks in three-phase ac power circuits are summarized below.  Three-phase transformer banks allow the voltages in the three-phase ac power circuit to be stepped-up (i.e., to be increased) or stepped-down (i.e., to be decreased).  Three-phase transformer banks provide electrical isolation between the primary windings and the secondary windings.  Three-phase transformer banks connected in a wye-delta or in a delta-wye configuration allow the number of wires in the three-phase ac power circuit to be decreased from 4 to 3, or increased from 3 to 4, respectively.  Three-phase transformer banks connected in a wye-delta or in a delta-wye configuration allow the incoming line voltages and currents to be phase shifted -30° or 30°, respectively.

Part 3 3A. Open – Delta CONNECTIONS THEORY  An open delta three phase connection can be made using only two single phase transformers. These connections are often used when the amount of three phase power is not excessive such as small businesses. It is important of be aware that the power output of an open delta transformer bank is only 86.6% of the rated power of the two transformers used. For example; where the two transformers each have a rating of 1kVA are connected to form an open-delta transformer bank, the total output power of the transformer bank is (1kVA + 1kVA) * 0.866 = 1.73kVA Another way to look at this is that the open-delta system can operate at 57.7% of the power rating of a full delta bank. Three 1kVA rated transformers have the output capacity of 3kVA 57.7% of 3kVA is 1.73kVA Open Delta configuration is also used is where a Delta to Delta transformer or transformer bank has a fault in one of its phases. The three phase transformer can be reconfigured to omit the faulted coils thereby forming an Open Delta set, allowing plant operation to continue in a limited fashion while replacement parts are being ordered. The diagram below is a typical schematic for an Open-Delta - Open-Delta three phase transformer: EET-216 Lab #5 V1.0F

Phase shift between E L Secondary and E L Primary = 0 o /1 11. Close LDVAC-EMS , then turn off all the equipment. Disconnect all the leads and return them to their storage locations. /5 EET-216 Lab #5 V1.0F

Part 4 4A. CLOSING THE DELTA CONNECTIONS THEORY Before “closing the Delta”, connections need to be checked for proper polarity before making the final connection and applying power. If the phase winding of one of the transfers is reversed, an extremely high current can flow when power is applied. (Polarity was identified during the lab) To perform these checks power needs to be applied to the bank before the final connection is made. Refer to diagram below. When power is applied to the transformer bank before the delta is closed the test points should indicate one of two things: 0 volts (where the connections are of the correct polarity), or twice the secondary voltage (twice the voltage found in PART 1D for the phase to neutral tests on the secondary). o For example, if one of the phase windings has been reversed the test voltage for a 120V secondary would show 240 volts. o The test will indicate if one of the windings is reversed, however it will not indicate which winding is reversed or weather the issue is in the primary or the secondary.

Part 5 5A. QUESTIONS 1. A three phase transformer bank is connected as Delta – Delta. The primary voltage is 4160V and the secondary voltage is 600V. The total capacity of the transformer bank is 500kVA. One of the three transformers that form the three phase bank develops a short on the primary and becomes unusable. It is suggested that the bank be reconnected for operation as open delta. Can the two remaining transformers be connected as open delta? And, if so what will the output capacity of remaining two transformers be? /4 Yes the two remaining transformers can be connected as open delta. The output capacity of the two transformers is 5000 KVA x 0.89 = 445KVA 2. Complete the table below for the Wye to Delta transformer that is supplying load # 1. /8 Primary Secondary Load # 1 E L = 4160 V E L = 600 V E L = 600V I L = 14.3A I L = 99A I L = 99A E P = 2401.8V E P = 600V E P = 346.4V I P = 14.3A I P = 57.2A I P = 99A S = 103KVA S = 102.9KVA P = 102.9KW Transformer power Rating S (rated) = 120 kVA Transformer impedance Z = 1.3% X R = 3.5Ω each leg Voltage Ratio 4 : 1 At transformer secondaries I sc = 13.2 kA (Short Circuit) Phase shift 30 o EET-216 Lab #5 V1.0F

3. If the transformers from question 1 were originally connected as Wye – Delta, can they still be reconfigured as open delta? Please explain your answer as to why or why not. /2 Yes, they can be reconfigured as open delta since a wye-connected transformer can be transformed into a delta connection. Therefore, a Wye-Delta connected transformer can be reconfigured as open delta if one of the three transformers happen to fail. 4. Why is it important to check the voltage of a delta transformer before closing the delta? /2 If the voltage does not equal 0 before the delta transformer is closed, then the windings could be damaged due to the high resulting current. 5. Complete the table below for the Delta to Wye transformer that is supplying load # 1. Primary Secondary Load #1 E L = 23kV E L = 208V E L = 208V I L = 543.6MA I L = 60.1A I L = 60.1A E P = 23KV E P = 120.1V E P = 208V I P = 313.8mA I P = 60.1A I P = 34.7A S = 21.7KVA S = 21.7KVA P = 21.7KW Transformer power Rating S (rated) = 15 kVA Transformer impedance Z = 1.5% X R = 6Ω each leg Voltage Ratio 191.5 : 1 At transformer secondaries I sc = 6.96kA kA (Short Circuit) EET-216 Lab #5 V1.0F
