The following diagram shows the internal connections of the Y/d30° transformer of
our example:
FIGURE 5–5: Wye / Delta (30° Lag) Transformer
Under balanced conditions, the Winding 2 phase current phasors lag the
corresponding phase current phasors of Winding 1 by 30°. With CTs connected in a
Wye arrangement (polarity markings pointing away from the transformer), the
corresponding phase currents cannot be summed directly to obtain a zero
differential current, since corresponding phasors will NOT be 180° out-of-phase.
Traditionally, this problem is solved by connecting the CTs on the WYE side of the
transformer (Winding 1) in a Delta arrangement. This compensates for the phase
angle lag introduced in the Delta side (Winding 2).
The 745 performs this phase angle correction internally based on the following
setpoint. Set
S2 SYSTEM SETUP ! TRANSFORMER !" TRANSFORMER TYPE to “Y/d30°”.
The 745 supports over 100 two and three-winding transformer types. Table 5–1:
Transformer Types on page 5–11 provides the following information about each
transformer type:
As shown in the “Y/d30°” entry of the table of transformer types, the phase angle
correction (or phase shift) introduces 30° lag in Winding 1. This lag is described in
Table 5–2: Phase Shifts on page 5–23. This table provides the following information
about each phase shift type:
