Deconnecting H0 on a Yg-Yg transformer
Deconnecting H0 on a Yg-Yg transformer
(OP)
Hi all,
Anyone knows a good reference that can explain what would happen to fault current and 3rd harmonic levels if the H0 of a Yg-Yg transformer is deconnected?

Need to look at this very carefully.

Thanks for that reference. Nothing left for me to say. Another star.

Alehman: Why do I ask? Because someone here was looking for some reference on that topic. He has a client wanting to find the cheapest way to deal with their Yg-Yg transformers, since the local utility doesnt accept this configuration.
Thanks again!

dpc: thanks for the link and sorry for the spelling mistake, but english is not my first language and
I cant find how to edit post.
Anyone?

This will effectively remove the earth reference for the low-voltage winding. Third harmonics are zero sequence so there will be a resultant 3f voltage that appears on the neutral.

A wye/delta transformer or bank may also work.
A simple analogy.
Consider first a 120:240 volt panel with 120 volt resistive loads. If this panel looses the neutral connection, the voltages across each load group will be in the inverse ratio of the loads.
Now if the resistive loads are replaced with 120 volt transformers and the neutral connection is lost, saturation becomes a factor. As the voltage across the lighter loaded transformer rises to the saturation point, the current increases. The increased current due to saturation tends to limit the voltage swing.
This is further complicated by power factor and, for some three phase transformers, the phantom delta effect.
It is generally not a good idea to float the primary of a wye delta bank unless there is a zig-zag transformer or a delta connected winding somewhere in the installation to provide a neutral point.
