    Does anyboydy knows how to ratio a delta/zig-zag transformer?

    I have 3 phase 480/208-120 delta/zig-zag transformer that gave me bad ratio when tested with a Vanguard TTR test set. Any ideas how to ratio this transformer using a voltage source on the primary and a voltmeter on the secondary?

    Transformers Paralleling

    potteryshard... Yes! 47 V consistent on all of them. Only one transformer was loaded. Today I am planning on verify neutral grounding and recheck everything again. I am also going to measure phase voltages to ground and check what kind of load we have on the one that is loaded. Test equipment...

    Transformers Paralleling

    Thanks for your help nawao. Tap changer is in central position (3) on both transnformers.

    Transformers Paralleling

    Thanks for your help dpc. I went back to rechecked everything and still the same. Another piece of information about the scheme: This is an ungrounded wye system with a ground fault detection scheme. Neutral is connected to ground through a 28 ohm resistor bank and a CT to measure ground...

    Transformers Paralleling

    I have two identical 3 phase dry type transformers I am trying to parallel: 1.5 MVA 15kv/480v Z=7.2% Dy11 They are being fed from the same source. I measured voltage across A-A B-B and C-C before closing the tie breaker and they measured 47 V. Voltages between phases are all the same, 480v. Is...
