Three Phase Star Delta

Three phase transformers play an important role in three phase AC power systems and can be constructed in different ways. They can be connected in star-star, delta-delta, star-delta, or delta-star configurations. The star-star connection is suitable for balanced loads but the neutral may shift for unbalanced loads. The delta-delta connection provides stable voltages under unbalanced loads. The star-delta connection is used to step down voltages economically while the delta-star connection is used to step up voltages at the beginning of high voltage transmission lines.

Line voltage VL= voltage between lines

Phase voltage Vph= voltage between a line and


neutral

THREE PHASE TRANSFORMERS

Almost all major generation & Distribution


Systems in the world are three phase ac systems
Three phase transformers play an important role in
these systems

3 phase transformers can be constructed from


(a) 3 single phase transformers
(b) 2 single phase transformers
(c ) using a common core for three phase
windings
3 phase Transformer connections

By connecting three single phase transformers


1. Star- Star connection
2. Delta- Delta connection
3. Star – Delta connection
4. Delta – Star connection
Star- Star connection

 This connection satisfactory only in balanced


load otherwise neutral point will be shifted.
Star- Star connection

Advantages

1.Requires less turns per winding i.e. cheaper


Phase voltage is 1/√3 times of line voltage

2.Cross section of winding is large i.e. stronger to

bear stress during short circuit


Line current is equal to phase current

3. Less dielectric strength in insulating materials


phase voltage is less
Star- Star connection
Disadvantages
1.If the load on the secondary side unbalanced
then the shifting of neutral point is possible

2.The third harmonic present in the alternator


voltage may appear on the secondary side. This
causes distortion in the secondary phase
voltages

3. Magnetizing current of transformer has 3rd


harmonic component
Delta - Delta connection

 This connection is used for moderate voltages


Delta - Delta connection

Advantages

1. System voltages are more stable in relation to


unbalanced load
2. If one t/f is failed it may be used for low power
level i.e. V-V connection
3. No distortion of flux i.e. 3rd harmonic current not
flowing to the line wire
Delta - Delta connection

Disadvantages
1.Compare to Y-Y require more insulation.

2. Absence of star point i.e. fault may severe.


Star- Delta connection

 Used to step down voltage i.e. end of


transmission line
Star- Delta connection

Advantages
1. The primary side is star connected. Hence fewer
number of turns are required. This makes the
connection economical

2. The neutral available on the primary can be


earthed to avoid distortion.

3. Large unbalanced loads can be handled


satisfactory.
Star- Delta connection
Disadvantages

The secondary voltage is not in phase with the


primary. (30 ⁰ phase difference )

Hence it is not possible to operate this connection in


parallel with star-star or delta-delta connected
transformer.
Delta - Star connection

 This connection is used to step up voltage ie.


Beginning of high tension line
Delta - Star connection

Features
 secondary Phase voltage is 1/√3 times of line
voltage.

 neutral in secondary can be grounded for 3


phase 4 wire system.

 Neutral shifting and 3rd harmonics are there.

 Phase shift of 30⁰ between secondary and


primary currents and voltages.
