Power transformer vector designations

Power transformer vector designations

(OP)
We have a list of suitable transformers for our job but the vector designation has us scratching our heads.
What does "Dyn11" mean. we assume
"D" = delta primary
"y" = star secondary with nuetral

but what the is "1" or "11"?

knowing we make look a little sheepish but thanks in advance

Look at the vector diagram and compare the angle between H2
and X2. There is a 30 degree shift, counterclockwise, (H2 vector is the reference). If you could put these vectors on a clock, H2 would be at 12 hour and X2 at 11 hour. That 11 is the number you have in Dyn11.

If the angle is 30 degree, clockwise, X2 is on the 1 hour spot, and you get Dyn1.

Likewise with delta-delta or y-y groups. You can have
Dd0 or YNyn0, if there is no angular shift, or Dd6 or YNyn6
when you have a 180 degree shift, with X2 on the 6 hour position.  graduate


Easy to get but hard to explain when English is not your native language...
