Delta Delta Connection

The document discusses a delta-delta connection of three single-phase transformers. In a delta-delta connection, the primaries of three identical transformers are connected in a delta configuration and the secondaries are also connected in a delta configuration. This results in each transformer receiving one-third of the three-phase load and full line-to-line voltage across the windings. The voltage and current relationships are derived, showing that the voltage ratio equals the turns ratio and the line currents are 1/√3 times the winding currents under balanced load conditions.

Delta­Delta Connection
Figure 6­21 shows three single­phase transformers, assumed to be identical, with their primaries
connected in delta and their secondaries connected in delta. A common physical arrangement of
the three transformers is shown in Fig. 6­21 (a); a schematic diagram typical for 3­phase delta
circuits is shown in Fig. 6­21(b).

The equivalent circuits of Figs. 6­11, 6­13, and 6­14 apply to each of the three transformers
connected delta­delta with or without the ideal transformer. If the three transformers are
identical and are operating under balanced 3­phase load and balanced 3­phase voltage
conditions, each transformer carries one third of the 3­phase load.

It is evident from Fig. 6­21 that full line­to­line voltage exists across the windings of each
transformer. Therefore, the secondary line­to­line voltages Vab, Vbc and Vca are practically in
phase with the corresponding primary line­to­line voltages VAB, VBC and VCA. In addition, if the
leakage impedance drops are neglected, the voltage ratios equal the turns ratio, i.e.

Figure 6­22 shows phasor diagrams for a bank of ideal transformers connected delta­delta and
supplying a balanced unity power­factor load.

In the case of identical transformers, when the third harmonics in the exciting current are
neglected, the line currents are   times the currents flowing in the windings under balanced
conditions. This can be seen by referring to Fig. 6­21 and the phasor diagram of Fig. 6­22(a) as

[6­88]

The delta­delta arrangement is restricted to applications in which neither the primary nor the
secondary side requires a 3­phase neutral connection. It is generally used in moderate voltage
systems because full line­to­line voltage exists across the windings, and in heavy current
systems because the windings need to carry only 1/  or 0.58 of the line current.
