  1. How many transformers are needed to make an open-delta connection?  

 

2. Two transformers rated at 100 kVA each are connected in an open-delta connection. What is the total output power that can be supplied by this bank?

  

3. How does the NEC specify that the high leg of a four-wire delta connection be marked?  

 

4. An open-delta three-phase transformer system has one transformer center-tapped to provide a neutral for single-phase voltages. If the voltage from line to center tap is 277 V, what is the high-leg voltage? 

 

5. If a single-phase load is connected across the two line conductors and neutral of the transformer in Question 4 and one line has a current of 80 A and the other line has a current of 68 A, how much current is flowing in the neutral conductor?  

 

6. A three-phase transformer connection has a delta-connected secondary, and one of the transformers has been center-tapped to form a neutral conductor. The phase-to-neutral value of the center-tapped secondary winding is 120 V. If the high leg is connected to a single-phase load, how much voltage will be applied to that load?  

 

7. A three-phase transformer connection has a delta-connected primary and a WY connected secondary. The center tap of the wye is used as a neutral conductor. If the line-to-line voltage is 480 V, what is the voltage between any one phase conductor and the neutral conductor?  

 

8. A three-phase transformer bank has the secondary connected in a wye configuration. The center tap is used as a neutral conductor. If the voltage across any phase conductor and neutral is 120 V, how much voltage would be applied to a three-phase load connected to the secondary of this transformer bank?  

 

9. A three-phase transformer bank has the primary and secondary windings connected in a wye configuration. The secondary center tap is being used as a neutral to supply single-phase loads. Will connecting the center-tap connection of the secondary to the center-tap connection of the primary permit the secondary voltage to stay in balance when a single-phase load is added to the secondary? 

 

10. Referring to the transformer connection in Question 9, if the center tap of the primary is connected to a neutral conductor on the incoming power, will it permit the secondary voltages to be balanced when single-phase loads are added?
