Transformer Connections 2

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this unit is to teach delta-wye and wye-delta transformer connections and how the angular displacement changes.  Single-phase distribution transformers interconnected to provide various three-phase power in a number of different ways, providing a utility with the flexibility of meeting a variety of customer needs. This program demonstrates and explains how three-phase delta-wye, wye-delta, and open bank connections are made. This unit also allows the student to practice making three-phase connections.

COURSE GOALS

• Demonstrate and explain how three-phase delta-wye and wye-delta connections producing 30 degrees of angular displacement are made.

• Demonstrate and explain how open connections are made.

• Recognize and use one-line diagrams for delta-wye, wye-delta, and open connections. Illustrate how to connect three single-phase transformers to supply a three-phase, three-wire delta secondary.

SUBJECTS AND OBJECTIVES
