A delta-wye (Δ-Y) transformer is a transformer that converts three-phase electric power

without a neutral wire into 3-phase power with a neutral wire. It can be a single three-phase
transformer, or built from three independent single-phase units. The term Delta-Wye
transformer is used in North America, and Delta-Star system in Europe.

Delta Wye Transformer

Delta-wye transformers are common in commercial, industrial, and high-density residential

locations, to supply three-phase distribution systems.

An example would be a distribution transformer with a delta primary, running on three 11kV
phases with no neutral or earth required, and a star (or wye) secondary providing a 3-phase
supply at 400 V, with the domestic voltage of 230 available between each phase and an earthed
neutral point.

Distribution Transformer are connected in configuration? a. Star/delta b. delta/star c. star/star d.

delta/delta Answer
#7
we use delta star connection because Zero sequence
currents
will not enter into grid which is connected to high
voltage
side of transformer(delta side).

Step-Up transformers usually connected as star-delta with the star point at the primary connected
to earth for provision of earth fault protection and to circulate any earthing current to ground in
case of any imbalances, while distribution transformers are connected as delta-star with the star
point at the secondary connected to the neutral to supply domestic loads which normaly rates at
240v,230v/110v, etc...phase+ neutral.

All replies seem valid so far, overlooked so far is that a three phase delta system can suffer a
casualty of one transformer, assuming separate transformers for each phase, and continue to
deliver 3 phase power, at 2/3 the power rating of the network, this configuration is called open
delta.

As stated the advantage of star or Wye networks is the ability to supply two different voltages
though the phase to phase voltage is not twice the voltage of the phase to neutral voltage, it is the
sine of 120 degrees 1.732 times the phase to neutral voltage due to the 120 degree phase
displacement.

A question for engineers/ mathematicians, is the sine of 120 degrees and the square root of three
the same number, and can you prove it. Took me forty years to get an answer.

Shipboard electrical practice governed by IEEE 45 is to provide all three phase circuits (120 volt
also) as delta configuration with no connection to the ships hull except through ground detection
devices. Wye networks neutral must be connected to the ships hull through a current monitoring
device capable of withstanding the maximum energy that can be delivered by the source. Wye
networks, or center tapped single phase transformers are used very little in shipboard practice,
and only where absolutely necessary.

As a related matter, the ship that I am on now has a diesel electric propulsion system, four diesel
alternators provide ships power for hotel load and propulsion I am able to start, parallel and load/
unload generators as the load demands. A curious arrangement exists in the propulsion control
system.

A three phase full wave rectifier produces six pulses of DC current per cycle.

On this ship each propulsion motor is supplied through a transformer with one delta connected
primary, and two secondaries, one secondary is connected delta, the other Wye. the two
secondaries are connected to individual SCR controllers, the variable voltage DC output of the
SCR controllers are paralleled to operate the propulsion motors. The 60 degree phase shift from
delta to Wye produces DC pulses 30 degrees out of phase with the DC pulses from the delta
secondary SCR's providing twelve pulses of DC during each AC cycle, thus reducing the
filtering required, and thus noise (Electrical as well as audible) from the propulsion system.

Transformer connection is normally defined by means of a System Study.

This includes:

-fault current elimination time

-fault current path

-overvoltages

-harmonics restraint

-zero sequence component circulation

In regular installations, it is common to use the delta(high)wye(low) connection. Then it must be

decided if the star center will be grounded or not.

Center of wye grounding has some advantages and ungrounding has others.

You can refer to IEEE Std C62.92.1-2000 to more detailed information.

It's not always the case that the secondary is 'star` or 'wye`.

Just the most common configuration because it saves copper & cost for most installations.

I've seen center tapped delta, open delta, and delta secondarys on occaision

Q : why capacitor cannot allow ac signal

Capacitors act as an open circuit when we provide it AC source and act as short circuit when we
provide it DC source so that no electricity flows in open circuit therefor capacitors block AC.

Q . how i will convert direct current to alternate current and ac to dc

It can be done with an inverter.

Q. why current transformer(C.T)secondary should not open
CT is known as current Transformer.secondary is not open because it will act as a resistor and  produce
large heating effect in the transformer and damage the primary winding.

Q. what are the steps to be taken to minimize voltage fluctuation in 33 KV system

for minimizing the voltage fluctuation we will use inductor because it has turns the turn
minimize the voltage

2. we should use the step down transformer to minimize the voltage

Q. what is HT and LT?

High tension voltages are NOT used in home appliances ranges from 400V to 400KV.
Low tension voltages are used in home appliances ranges from 110V to 230V
