Fusing Problem

Fusing Problem

Fusing Problem

(OP)
I have 24.9/14.4 Kv utility supply from Hydro One to our new water treatment plant.

Our main transformer is 750 KVA delta/wye.
One of the transformer suppliers keeps calling me about fusing problem from utility(wye connection) to primary side of transformer(delta connection).

Any Ideas about this concern?

Regards

What is the problem?

RE: Fusing Problem

(OP)
First of All, As I mentioned in question, one supplier is referring to fusing problem.

And secondly, I am wondering if it is better to specify a Wye/Wye Transformer as oppose to Delta/Wye.(for instance what we should do with neutral wire of Hydro connection?)

So far as I remember, I always saw Delta/Wye Transformers in industrial applications I have been involved with, although I confess I am not Power specialist.

Surineman,

You do not say what the fusing problem is.

Wye/wye is not generally recommended, because the utility can see a single-phase fault on your side.  Harmonics are also a problem.  I would think wye/delta, with impedance-grounded wye (fault current limitation) on your side and delta on the utility side, but the utility has a way of doing things that they will be glad to tell you.
