Three Phase Star Delta

This document discusses different three-phase transformer connections including star-star, delta-delta, star-delta, and delta-star. The star-star connection is suitable for balanced loads and has lower phase voltage. The delta-delta connection provides more stable voltages during unbalanced loads. The star-delta connection is used to step down voltages and can handle large unbalanced loads, while the delta-star connection is used to step up voltages and provides a neutral point for grounding on the secondary side, but results in a 30 degree phase shift.

THREE PHASE SYSTEM
BASICS

Line voltage VL = voltage between lines

Phase voltage Vph = voltage between a line and


neutral

Line Voltage:

VL=√3Vph
Line current:
IL = Iph

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


• 3 single phase transformers
• 2 single phase transformers
• 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

Page # 6
Star- Star connection

 This connection satisfactory only in balanced


load otherwise neutral point will be shifted.

Page # 7
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

Page # 10
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
Page # 13
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
Page # 16
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.

Page # 17
Delta - Star connection

Features

 Neutral shifting and 3rd harmonics are there.

 Phase shift of 30⁰ between secondary and


primary currents and voltages.
