1600KVA power transformer connection problem

09/26/2008 1:53 AM

Hello, my friends, I have a problem and need anybody who has the experience to give answer: I ordered a power transformer, 440V/690V/3p/60Hz, 1600KVA, Vector group is Dy11, what we required is a step-up transformer, but the supplier gave us a step-down transformer:690V/440V/1600KVA, with Dy11 Vector group, can we just reverse the input and output cable connection to change it be a 440V/690V transformer? if I do like this, the vector group will be also reversed, any problem? any other problem will heppen? pls any friend give help, thanks very much.

The best way is to ask your provider. he can give you a difinite answer.

On principle, if you use this transformer independently, I think certainly no problem, the primary nd second winding is relative. only change D and Y to comply with your voltage requirement.

I declare I hvnt ever used this kind of large transformer. only speak from principle.

You will loose the capability to ground the secondary at the center of the Wye. This is likely a big problem unless you want to float the secondary or have some other exotic mean of grounding. In most country, floating the secondary can only be done using special protections and considerations.

I would probably return the transformer and insist to get it fixed. They simply have to re-wind the coils.
