Wye-Wye Transformer Bank Reversed Connection)

08/16/2007 8:48 PM

Had a field connection done wrong the other day and wanted some input on the scenario. I was getting stumped because of the backwards third transformer connection. It was a wye-wye bank. (12470/7200 Primary & 208/120 Secondary)

Transformer # 1: H1=A, H2=N ===> X1=a, X2=n
Transformer # 2: H1=B, H2=N ===> X1=b, X2=n
Transformer # 3: H1=C, H2=N ===> X1=n, X2=c (This is the flipped connection)

The field guy swapped the secondary connections on the third transformer. I was needing some assistance on calculating the phase angle, p-p voltage, and p-g voltage. The third transformer is reversed connection, so I figured 180 degress shift. So, C would be between A & B right? I was thinking 0, -60, -120 derees. Is this correct? How do I calculate the three things mentioned before.

dude! The third cah had an oppisite polarity than the first two. Usually we change the primary leads when this happens for asthetics, but either will work. dp1987@mac.com
