Advantages of Delta connections in Transformers?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

1. A three phase transformer with HV side star connected and LV side delta connected results in economical design.

2. However, if star winding is required on the LV side due to load / safety requirements, then it is common to connect the HV side as delta. See next item to know why a delta winding is necessary.

3. Delta winding provides a path for third harmonic current present in the magnetising current due to core saturation. Hence, delta winding acts a thrid harmonic filter. This will help to eliminate non-sinusoidal voltage on transformer load terminals. This is an important feature of transformer design. Hence, in practice, all transformers will invariably have a delta winding.
