I`m Studying my final semesters as electrical engineer and working on an electrical maintanence and desing company.
I would like a more expierenced opinion on the following situation.
I have an wye delta transformer on which I'm performing a three-phase no-load test. The thing is the power which is absorbed by phases A and B is negative, which means that instead of acting as a load the transformer is acting as a source.
The readings are as follows. These are Line to neutral voltages and line currents and phase power readings performed on the wye side of the transformer. Positive sequence
Va=269.83/0 Ia=12.66/-101.9 Wa=-707.62
Vb=269.88/239.6 Ib=15.32/141 Wb=-606.9
Vc=270.45/119.8 Ic=14.9/63 Wc=2710.019
In=14.9/-63.7
From this data I`v come to two conclusions.
- The coils from the wye side of the transformer are unbalanced. See the phase angle between the phase currents and voltages, it is not balanced
- The currents coming from phase A and B are flowing from the transformer wye side to the source.
I have a few ideas of what it could be, the current coil of the wattmeter is inversed, or the wattmeter is malfunctioning. But still I`m not sure what it could be, ¿Could i have an opinion on this matter?
