Distribution Transformer Connection Diagram
To make the transformer connections compatible with three phase supplies we need to connect them together in a particular way to form a three phase transformer configuration.
Distribution transformer connection diagram. V l is the line to line voltage and v p is the phase to neutral voltage. 120 x 240 secondary. Conversely the y connection is used for stepping up to a high voltage as in generation station transformer. All the diagrams are for additive polarity for three phase transformers.
Delta wye three phase transformer connection. Figure 2 delta delta transformer connections click to expand diagram the connection diagram on the left shows how a delta delta connection can be made either with three single phase transformers or with one three phase transformer. 120 240 2 2 1 2 anfc 4 2 2 bnfc x4 x1 h10 h2 h3 h1 x2 x3 h5 h6 h4 h7 h8 h9 connectconnect primary primary inter secondary.

The dashed lines indicate the transformer outlines. A transformer can not act as a phase changing device and change single phase into three phase or three phase into single phase. The 240 v is obtained by making connections between the two ungrounded hot conductors and the 120 v is obtained by making connections between either of the two hot ungrounded conductors and the neutral grounded conductor. 240 x 480 secondary.

The diagrams in this section of the general electric distribution transformer guide book covers the most common types of connections for single phase transformers and three phase transformers. This separately derived system transformer has a compliant system bonding jumper. 240 x 480 secondary. Distribution transformers 15 3 figure 15 3 two view construction standard detail of a conventional transformer to be installed on the distribution system.
However the required grounding electrode conductor is absent. It must be an effective connection and all grounding paths must be connected to it. The grounding electrode makes the earth connection for the transformer secondary circuit. The y connection is commonly used in stepping down from a high voltage to a medium or low voltage level as in distribution transformers.
