Why wont these two 20MW DY1 power transformers phase?
(OP)
We have 2-20MW power transformers that we tried to phase so we could parallel. I will call 1 of them T1 and the other MS. T1 is a GE delta-wye (DY1) 115000-24940/14400. MS is a WH delta-wye (DY1) multi-configuration set on 115000-24940/14400. H1 and H3 are swapped on MS but i believe all that should do is swap my rotation. They are both located in the same sub, fed from the same source. The delta-wye polarity diagrams (DY1) are identical on the nameplates. Here is what the linemen read. Remember A&C are swapped on MS and is not corrected below.
T1-A to MS-A=28000
T1-A to MS-B=18000
T1-A to MS-C=12000
All of the other 6 combinations followed suit with the readings above. Nothing would zero. What is the phase shift and what are the possible reasons for this?

Smallgreek. This stems from a reverse rotation to this sub from possibly 30 to 40 years ago. When the sub and line were rebuilt this year, they corrected the reverse rotation. This meant that when MS (the mobile sub) was brought in, they had to reverse the rotation there to match our customers. Now we are going to have to do a drop and pick to swap over to the new(er) transformer. When we do this, we will have to swap rotation on MS (just in case we have to use it again) and at the feeders going out.
