Single phasing a delta-wye(gnd) TFR
Single phasing a delta-wye(gnd) TFR
(OP)
Hello Fellow Engineers,
I'm looking for an exact reference to the situation of blowing a high side fuse on a delta-wye(gnd) connected power transformer(single phasing). From experience I know that when this occurs, the result is about a 1/3 voltage drop on the low side phase-neutral voltage...(i.e. on a 120V base, I measure about 80V when I lose a high side fuse at the sub).
I don't think the calculation is that simple. I've tried about every source I can think of to find an example calculation for when this problem occurs.
The reason I need this info is for breaker low voltage trip settings at the substations to avoid single phasing claims on motors and such.
Thanks in advance,
Plinko

for the referenced paper.
However, the 80V appears to be somewhat high for the loss of one phase on the delta-wye transformer primary.
