    wye-delta transformer in MV distribution

    Thanks for your input. When the system was energized, some secondary voltage fluctuation was observed. I'm thinking that maybe the existing downstream Y:Y transformer(s) might not have been grounded the way you describe and in some fashion the primary ground was interrupted during the new work.

    wye-delta transformer in MV distribution

    we thought that the existing downstream transformers were delta:wye...everything I've read discourages the use of wye:wye transformers in distribution systems because of voltage instability and harmonics. Now that we know we've inherited the wye:wye stuff downstream, how about grounding the...

    wye-delta transformer in MV distribution

    I'm in the process of design of an upgrade of an existing 4160v 3 ph distribution system to a 12470 v 3ph system in order to take advantage of primary service rates. we have selected a 12470v:4160v (wye:delta) transformer to feed a part of the existing 4160v system that is in place for awhile...
