Introduction:
Three phase transformer consists of three sets of primary windings, one for each phase, and three sets of secondary windings wound
on the same iron core. Separate single‑phase transformers can be used and externally interconnected to yield the same results as a 3‑
phase unit.
The primary windings are connected in one of several ways. The two most common configurations are the delta, in which the
polarity end of one winding is connected to the non‑polarity end of the next, and the star, in which all three non‑polarities (or
polarity) ends are connected together. The secondary windings are connected similarly. This means that a 3‑phase transformer can
have its primary and secondary windings connected the same (delta‑delta or star‑star), or differently (delta‑star or star‑delta).
It’s important to remember that the secondary voltage waveforms are in phase with the primary waveforms when the primary and
secondary windings are connected the same way. This condition is called “no phase shift.” But when the primary and secondary
windings are connected differently, the secondary voltage waveforms will differ from the corresponding primary voltage waveforms
by 30 electrical degrees. This is called a 30 degree phase shift. When two transformers are connected in parallel, their phase shifts
must be identical; if not, a short circuit will occur when the transformers are energized.”
Basic Idea of Winding:
An ac voltage applied to a coil will induce a voltage in a second coil where the two are linked by a magnetic path. The phase
relationship of the two voltages depends upon which ways round the coils are connected. The voltages will either be in‑phase or
displaced by 180 deg
When 3 coils are used in a 3 phase transformer winding a number of options exist. The coil voltages can be in phase or displaced
as above with the coils connected in star or delta and, in the case of a star winding, have the star point (neutral) brought out to an
external terminal or not.

When Pair of Coil of Transformer have same direction than voltage induced in both coil are in same direction from one end to
other end.
When two coil have opposite winding direction than Voltage induced in both coil are in opposite direction.
Winding connection designations:
First Symbol: for High Voltage: Always capital le瘫鬁ers.
D=Delta, Y=Star, Z=Interconnected star, N=Neutral
Second Symbol: for Low voltage: Always Small le瘫鬁ers.
d=Delta, y=Star, z=Interconnected star, n=Neutral.
Third Symbol: Phase displacement expressed as the clock hour number (1,6,11)
Example – Dyn11
Transformer has a delta connected primary winding (D) a star connected secondary (y) with the star point brought out (n) and a
phase shift of 30 deg leading (11).
The point of confusion is occurring in notation in a step‑up transformer. As the IEC60076‑1 standard has stated, the notation is
HV‑LV in sequence. For example, a step‑up transformer with a delta‑connected primary, and star‑connected secondary, is not
wri瘫鬁en as ‘dY11’, but ‘Yd11’. The 11 indicates the LV winding leads the HV by 30 degrees.
Transformers built to ANSI standards usually do not have the vector group shown on their nameplate and instead a vector
diagram is given to show the relationship between the primary and other windings.
Vector Group of Transformer:
The three phase transformer windings can be connected several ways. Based on the windings’ connection, the vector group of the
The three phase transformer windings can be connected several ways. Based on the windings’ connection, the vector group of the
transformer is determined.
The transformer vector group is indicated on the Name Plate of transformer by the manufacturer.
The vector group indicates the phase difference between the primary and secondary sides, introduced due to that particular
configuration of transformer windings connection.
The Determination of vector group of transformers is very important before connecting two or more transformers in parallel. If
two transformers of different vector groups are connected in parallel then phase difference exist between the secondary of the
transformers and large circulating current flows between the two transformers which is very detrimental.
Phase Displacement between HV and LV Windings:
The vector for the high voltage winding is taken as the reference vector. Displacement of the vectors of other windings from the
reference vector, with anticlockwise rotation, is represented by the use of clock hour figure.
IS: 2026 (Part 1V)‑1977 gives 26 sets of connections star‑star, star‑delta, and star zigzag, delta‑delta, delta star, delta‑zigzag, zigzag
star, zigzag‑delta. Displacement of the low voltage winding vector varies from zero to ‑330° in steps of ‑30°, depending on the
method of connections.
Hardly any power system adopts such a large variety of connections. Some of the commonly used connections with phase
displacement of 0, ‑300, ‑180″ and ‑330° (clock‑hour se瘫鬁ing 0, 1, 6 and 11).
Symbol for the high voltage winding comes first, followed by the symbols of windings in diminishing sequence of voltage. For
example a 220/66/11 kV Transformer connected star, star and delta and vectors of 66 and 11 kV windings having phase
displacement of 0° and ‑330° with the reference (220 kV) vector will be represented As Yy0 – Yd11.
The digits (0, 1, 11 etc) relate to the phase displacement between the HV and LV windings using a clock face notation. The phasor
representing the HV winding is taken as reference and set at 12 o’clock. Phase rotation is always anti‑clockwise. (International
adopted).
Use the hour indicator as the indicating phase displacement angle. Because there are 12 hours on a clock, and a circle consists out
of 360°, each hour represents 30°.Thus 1 = 30°, 2 = 60°, 3 = 90°, 6 = 180° and 12 = 0° or 360°.
The minute hand is set on 12 o’clock and replaces the line to neutral voltage (sometimes imaginary) of the HV winding. This
position is always the reference point.
Example:
Digit 0 =0° that the LV phasor is in phase with the HV phasor
Digit 1 =30° lagging (LV lags HV with 30°) because rotation is anti‑clockwise.
Digit 11 = 330° lagging or 30° leading (LV leads HV with 30°)
Digit 5 = 150° lagging (LV lags HV with 150°)
Digit 6 = 180° lagging (LV lags HV with 180°)
When transformers are operated in parallel it is important that any phase shift is the same through each. Paralleling typically
occurs when transformers are located at one site and connected to a common bus bar (banked) or located at different sites with
the secondary terminals connected via distribution or transmission circuits consisting of cables and overhead lines.

Points to be consider while Selecting of Vector Group:
Vector Groups are the IEC method of categorizing the primary and secondary winding configurations of 3‑phase transformers. 7/24
https://electricalnotes.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/vectorgroupoftransformer/
Vector Groups are the IEC method of categorizing the primary and secondary winding configurations of 3‑phase transformers.
Windings can be connected as delta, star, or interconnected‑star (zigzag). Winding polarity is also important, since reversing the
connections across a set of windings affects the phase‑shift between primary and secondary. Vector groups identify the winding
connections and polarities of the primary and secondary. From a vector group one can determine the phase‑shift between
primary and secondary.
Transformer vector group depends upon
Removing harmonics: Dy connection – y winding nullifies 3rd harmonics, preventing it to be reflected on delta side.
Parallel operations: All the transformers should have same vector group & polarity of the winding.
Earth fault Relay: A Dd transformer does not have neutral. to restrict the earth faults in such systems, we may use zig zag
wound transformer to create a neutral along with the earth fault relay..
Type of Non Liner Load: systems having different types of harmonics & non linear Types of loads e.g. furnace heaters ,VFDS
etc for that we may use Dyn11, Dyn21, Dyn31 configuration, wherein, 30 deg. shifts of voltages nullifies the 3rd harmonics to
zero in the supply system.
Type of Transformer Application: Generally for Power export transformer i.e. generator side is connected in delta and load
side is connected in star. For Power export import transformers i.e. in Transmission Purpose Transformer star star connection
may be preferred by some since this avoids a grounding transformer on generator side and perhaps save on neutral
insulation. Most of systems are running in this configuration. May be less harmful than operating delta system incorrectly. Yd
or Dy connection is standard for all unit connected generators.
There are a number of factors associated with transformer connections and may be useful in designing a system, and the
application of the factors therefore determines the best selection of transformers. For example:
For selecting Star Connection:
A star connection presents a neutral. If the transformer also includes a delta winding, that neutral will be stable and can be
grounded to become a reference for the system. A transformer with a star winding that does NOT include a delta does not
present a stable neutral.
Star‑star transformers are used if there is a requirement to avoid a 30deg phase shift, if there is a desire to construct the three‑
phase transformer bank from single‑phase transformers, or if the transformer is going to be switched on a single‑pole basis (ie,
one phase at a time), perhaps using manual switches.
Star‑star transformers are typically found in distribution applications, or in large sizes interconnecting high‑voltage transmission
systems. Some star‑star transformers are equipped with a third winding connected in delta to stabilize the neutral.
For selecting Delta Connection:
A delta connection introduces a 30 electrical degree phase shift.
A delta connection ‘traps’ the flow of zero sequence currents.
For selecting Delta‑Star Connection:
Delta‑star transformers are the most common and most generally useful transformers.
Delta‑delta transformers may be chosen if there is no need for a stable neutral, or if there is a requirement to avoid a 30 electrical
degree phase shift. The most common application of a delta‑delta transformer is as tan isolation transformer for a power
converter.
For selecting Zig zag Connection:
The Zig Zag winding reduces voltage unbalance in systems where the load is not equally distributed between phases, and
permits neutral current loading with inherently low zero‑sequence impedance. It is therefore often used for earthing
transformers.
Provision of a neutral earth point or points, where the neutral is referred to earth either directly or through impedance.
Transformers are used to give the neutral point in the majority of systems. The star or interconnected star (Z) winding
configurations give a neutral location. If for various reasons, only delta windings are used at a particular voltage level on a
particular system, a neutral point can still be provided by a purpose‑made transformer called a ‘neutral earthing.
For selecting Distribution Transformer:
The first criterion to consider in choosing a vector group for a distribution transformer for a facility is to know whether we want
a delta‑star or star‑star. Utilities often prefer star‑star transformers, but these require 4‑wire input feeders and 4‑wire output
feeders (i.e. incoming and outgoing neutral conductors).
For distribution transformers within a facility, often delta‑star are chosen because these transformers do not require 4‑wire input;
a 3‑wire primary feeder circuit suffices to supply a 4‑wire secondary circuit. That is because any zero sequence current required
by the secondary to supply earth faults or unbalanced loads is supplied by the delta primary winding, and is not required from
the upstream power source. The method of earthing on the secondary is independent of the primary for delta‑star transformers.
The second criterion to consider is what phase‑shift you want between primary and secondary. For example, Dy11 and Dy5
transformers are both delta‑star. If we don’t care about the phase‑shift, then either transformer will do the job. Phase‑shift is
important when we are paralleling sources. We want the phase‑shifts of the sources to be identical.
important when we are paralleling sources. We want the phase‑shifts of the sources to be identical.
If we are paralleling transformers, then you want them to have the same the same vector group. If you are replacing a
transformer, use the same vector group for the new transformer, otherwise the existing VTs and CTs used for protection and
metering will not work properly.
There is no technical difference between the one vector groups (i.e. Yd1) or another vector group (i.e. Yd11) in terms of
performance. The only factor affecting the choice between one or the other is system phasing, ie whether parts of the network fed
from the transformer need to operate in parallel with another source. It also ma瘫鬁ers if you have an auxiliary transformer
connected to generator terminals. Vector matching at the auxiliary bus bar
Application of Transformer according to Vector Group:
(1) (Dyn11, Dyn1, YNd1, YNd11)
Common for distribution transformers.
Normally Dyn11 vector group using at distribution system. Because Generating Transformer are YNd1 for neutralizing the load
angle between 11 and 1.
We can use Dyn1 at distribution system, when we are using Generator Transformer are YNd11.
In some industries 6 pulse electric drives are using due to this 5thharmonics will generate if we use Dyn1 it will be suppress the
5th harmonics.
Star point facilitates mixed loading of three phase and single phase consumer connections.
The delta winding carry third harmonics and stabilizes star point potential.
A delta‑Star connection is used for step‑up generating stations. If HV winding is star connected there will be saving in cost of
insulation.
But delta connected HV winding is common in distribution network, for feeding motors and lighting loads from LV side.
(2) StarStar (Yy0 or Yy6)
Mainly used for large system tie‑up Transformer.
Most economical connection in HV power system to interconnect between two delta systems and to provide neutral for
grounding both of them.
Tertiary winding stabilizes the neutral conditions. In star connected transformers, load can be connected between line and
neutral, only if
(a) the source side transformers is delta connected or
(b) the source side is star connected with neutral connected back to the source neutral.
In This Transformers. Insulation cost is highly reduced. Neutral wire can permit mixed loading.
Triple harmonics are absent in the lines. These triple harmonic currents cannot flow, unless there is a neutral wire. This
connection produces oscillating neutral.
Three phase shell type units have large triple harmonic phase voltage. However three phase core type transformers work
satisfactorily.
A tertiary mesh connected winding may be required to stabilize the oscillating neutral due to third harmonics in three phase
banks.
(3) Delta – Delta (Dd 0 or Dd 6)
This is an economical connection for large low voltage transformers.
Large unbalance of load can be met without difficulty.
Delta permits a circulating path for triple harmonics thus a瘫鬁enuates the same.
It is possible to operate with one transformer removed in open delta or” V” connection meeting 58 percent of the balanced load.
Three phase units cannot have this facility. Mixed single phase loading is not possible due to the absence of neutral.
(4) StarZigzag or DeltaZigzag (Yz or Dz)
These connections are employed where delta connections are weak. Interconnection of phases in zigzag winding effects a
reduction of third harmonic voltages and at the same time permits unbalanced loading.
This connection may be used with either delta connected or star connected winding either for step‑up or step‑down transformers.
In either case, the zigzag winding produces the same angular displacement as a delta winding, and at the same time provides a
neutral for earthing purposes.
The amount of copper required from a zigzag winding in 15% more than a corresponding star or delta winding. This is
extensively used for earthing transformer.
Due to zigzag connection (interconnection between phases), third harmonic voltages are reduced. It also allows unbalanced
loading. The zigzag connection is employed for LV winding. For a given total voltage per phase, the zigzag side requires 15%
more turns as compared to normal phase connection. In cases where delta connections are weak due to large number of turns
and small cross sections, then zigzag star connection is preferred. It is also used in rectifiers.
(5) Zig zag/ star (ZY1 or Zy11)
Zigzag connection is obtained by inter connection of phases.4‑wire system is possible on both sides. Unbalanced loading is also
possible. Oscillating neutral problem is absent in this connection.
This connection requires 15% more turns for the same voltage on the zigzag side and hence costs more. Hence a bank of three
single phase transformers cost about 15% more than their 3‑phase counterpart. Also, they occupy more space. But the spare
capacity cost will be less and single phase units are easier to transport.
Unbalanced operation of the transformer with large zero sequence fundamental mmf content also does not affect its
performance. Even with Yy type of poly phase connection without neutral connection the oscillating neutral does not occur with
these cores. Finally, three phase cores themselves cost less than three single phase units due to compactness.
(6) Yd5:
Mainly used for machine and main Transformer in large Power Station and Transmission Substation.
The Neutral point can be loaded with rated Current.
(7) Yz5
For Distribution Transformer up to 250MVA for local distribution system.
The Neutral point can be loaded with rated Current.
Application of Transformer according according to Uses:
Step up Transformer: It should be Yd1 or Yd11.
Step down Transformer: It should be Dy1 or Dy11.
Grounding purpose Transformer: It should be Yz1 or Dz11.
Distribution Transformer: We can consider vector group of Dzn0 which reduce the 75% of harmonics in secondary side.
Power Transformer: Vector group is deepen on application for Example : Generating Transformer : Dyn1 , Furnace Transformer:
Ynyn0.
Convert One Group of Transformer to Other Group by Channing
External Connection:
(1) Group I: Example: Dd0 (no phase displacement between HV and LV).
The conventional method is to connect the red phase on A/a, Yellow phase on B/b, and the Blue phase on C/c.
Other phase displacements are possible with unconventional connections (for instance red on b, yellow on c and blue on a) By
doing some unconventional connections externally on one side of the Transformer, an internal connected Dd0 transformer can be
changed either to a Dd4(‑120°) or Dd8(+120°) connection. The same is true for internal connected Dd4 or Dd8 transformers.
(2) Group II: Example: Dd6 (180° displacement between HV and LV).
By doing some unconventional connections externally on one side of the Transformer, an internal connected Dd6 transformer can
be changed either to a Dd2(‑60°) or Dd10(+60°) connection.
(3) Group III: Example: Dyn1 (‑30° displacement between HV and LV).
By doing some unconventional connections externally on one side of the Transformer, an internal connected Dyn1 transformer
can be changed either to a Dyn5(‑150°) or Dyn9(+90°) connection.
(4) Group IV: Example: Dyn11 (+30° displacement between HV and LV).
By doing some unconventional connections externally on one side of the Transformer, an internal connected Dyn11 transformer
can be changed either to a Dyn7(+150°) or Dyn3(‑90°) connection.
Point to be remembered:
For Group‑III & Group‑IV: By doing some unconventional connections externally on both sides of the Transformer, an internal
connected Group‑III or Group‑IV transformer can be changed to any of these two groups.
Thus by doing external changes on both sides of the Transformer an internal connected Dyn1 transformer can be changed to
either a: Dyn3, Dyn5, Dyn7, Dyn9 or Dyn11 transformer, This is just true for star/delta or delta/star connections.
For Group‑I & Group‑II: Changes for delta/delta or star/star transformers between Group‑I and Group‑III can just be done
internally.
Why 30°phase shift occur in stardelta transformer between primary
and secondary?
The phase shift is a natural consequence of the delta connection. The currents entering or leaving the star winding of the
transformer are in phase with the currents in the star windings. Therefore, the currents in the delta windings are also in phase
with the currents in the star windings and obviously, the three currents are 120 electrical degrees apart.
But the currents entering or leaving the transformer on the delta side are formed at the point where two of the windings
comprising the delta come together – each of those currents is the phasor sum of the currents in the adjacent windings.
When you add together two currents that are 120 electrical degrees apart, the sum is inevitably shifted by 30 degrees.
(h瘫鬁ps://electricalnotes.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/3333.jpg)
The Main reason for this phenomenon is that the phase voltage lags line current by 30degrees.consider a delta/star transformer.
The phase voltages in three phases of both primary and secondary. you will find that in primary the phase voltage and line
voltages are same, let it be VRY(take one phase).but, the corresponding secondary will have the phase voltage only in its phase
winding as it is star connected. the line voltage of star connected secondary and delta connected primary won’t have any phase
differences between them. so this can be summarized that “the phase shift is associated with the wave forms of the three phase
windings.
Why when Generating Transformer is Yd1 than Distribution
Transformer is Dy11:
This is the HV Side or the Switchyard side of the Generator Transformer is connected in Delta and the LV Side or the generator
side of the GT is connected in Star, with the Star side neutral brought out.
The LV side voltage will “lag” the HV side voltage by 30 degrees.
Thus, in a generating station we create a 30 degrees lagging voltage for transmission, with respect to the generator voltage.
As we have created a 30 degrees lagging connection in the generating station, it is advisable to create a 30 degrees leading
connection in distribution so that the user voltage is “in phase” with the generated voltage. And, as the transmission side is Delta
and the user might need three phase, four‑wire in the LV side for his single phase loads, the distribution transformer is chosen as
Dyn11.
There is magnetic coupling between HT and LT. When the load side (LT) suffers some dip the LT current try to go out of phase
with HT current, so 30 degree phase shift in Dyn‑11 keeps the two currents in phase when there is dip.
So the vector group at the generating station is important while selecting distribution Transformer.
Vector Group in GeneratingTransmissionDistribution System:
Generating TC is Yd1 transmi瘫鬁ed power at 400KV, for 400KV to 220KV Yy is used and by using Yd between e.g. 220 and 66 kV,
then Dy from 66 to 11 kV so that their phase shifts can be cancelled out. And for LV (400/230V) supplies at 50 Hz are usually 3
phase, earthed neutral, so a “Dyn” LV winding is needed. Here GT side ‑30lag (Yd1) can be nullify +30 by using distribution
Transformer of Dy11.
A reason for using Yd between e.g. 220 and 66 kV, then Dy from 66 to 11 kV is that their phase shifts can cancel out and It is then
also possible to parallel a 220/11 kV YY transformer, at 11 kV, with the 66/11 kV (a YY transformer often has a third, delta,
winding to reduce harmonics). If one went Dy11 – Dy11 from 220 to 11 kV, there would be a 60 degree shift, which is not possible
in one transformer. The “standard” transformer groups in distribution avoid that kind of limitation, as a result of thought and
experience leading to lowest cost over many years.
Generator TC is Yd1, Can we use Distribution TC Dy5 instead of Dy11.
With regards to theory, there are no special advantages of Dyn11 over Dyn5.
In Isolation Application: In isolated applications there is no advantage or disadvantage by using Dy5 or Dy11. If however we
wish to interconnect the secondary sides of different Dny transformers, we must have compatible transformers, and that can be
achieved if you have a Dyn11 among a group of Dyn5’s and vice versa.
In Parallel Connection: Practically, the relative places of the phases remain same in Dyn11 compared to Dyn5.
If we use Yd1 Transformer on Generating Side and Distribution side Dy11 transformer than ‑30 lag of generating side (Yd1) is
nullify by +30 Lead at Receiving side Dy11) so no phase difference respect to generating Side and if we are on the HV side of the
Transformer, and if we denote the phases as R‑ Y‑B from left to right, the same phases on the LV side will be R‑ Y ‑B, but from left
to Right.
This will make the Transmission lines have same color (for identification) whether it is input to or output from the Transformer.
If we use Yd1 Transformer on Generating Side and Distribution side Dy5 transformer than ‑30 lag of generating side (Yd1) is
more lag by ‑150 Lag at Receiving side (Dy5) so Total phase difference respect to generating Side is 180 deg (‑30+‑150=‑180) and if
we are on the HV side of the Transformer, and if we denote the phases as R‑ Y‑B from left to right, the same phases on the LV
side will be R‑ Y ‑B, but from Right to Left.
This will make the Transmission lines have No same color (for identification) whether it is input to or output from the
Transformer.
The difference in output between the Dyn11 and Dny5 and is therefore 180 degrees.

Dear Mr. Parmar, While I appreciate your article on significance and selection of vector group of Transformers, pl. let me
know in a co‑gen power plant where export/ import of power is envisaged, if the vector group YnD1 where in Generator
Power Transformer’s secondary winding is Delta connected ( Generator side) and the distance of generator is within 100
meters from the stated transformer, is it necessary to install an earthing transformer? What would be the repercussion if
the earthing transformer is not provided? I have installed and operated no. of such power plants with this vector group
without an earthing transformer for several years and nothing abnormal noticed even on event of earth fault.
Secondly, can we opt for YnYno Transformer for such application apart from the above widely used vector group X‑mer
which will be more economical too. Is there any constraint in Yy0 configuration? I’ll solicit your reply on both the cited
points asap.
Regards,

Dear Krishna: The 21 being normal tap and having 25 taps is not unusual. the taps specified is dependent on expected voltage
variation. Probably your supply must be going
1.25% x 20 = 30 percent negative ( assuming @ 1.25% taps. it may be less. see the diagram)
may I add that in understanding the principle of OLTC operation you have to remember that volts per turn has to be
reatained for ge瘫鬁ing the set voltage on the secondary.iif V goes up v/turn increases. so secondary voltage will increase. to
bring back the secondary voltage, introduce more turns. so v/turn is retained. accordingly you will know whetgher tap moves
up or down

Dear Jignesh,
Thank you for the interesting information about the selection of transformer’s vector group.
I would like to add another interesting point: The positive effect and other characteristics of transformers of certain vector groups
on the mitigation of voltage sags. This can be done by the positive effect of transformers of vector group 1, 5, 7 and 11 (e.g. Dy1,
Yd5 etc) on asymmetrical faults and especially as regards one‑phase‑to‑ground faults, which are the most frequent faults.
Moreover, it can be proved that two‑phase, two‑phase‑to‑ground and three‑phase faults at the one side of such transformers give
the same sag magnitude at the other side of the transformer under common assumptions used in short‑circuit analysis. I have
published a journal and a conference paper on that effect.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Marios Moschakis, Lecturer

Technological Educational Institute of Larissa, GREECE

This is a good ready reference regarding vector group and selection of various vector groups.
I would like to ask one thing regarding distribution transformers. As you know the distribution system normally on HV side
connected in parallel and LV side radial. That means the LV of two transformers will never be connected in parallel. In that case,
can we connect the two distribution transformers with different vector group in parallel?

For Step up Transformer 415/11kV
You would normally choose Yd11 or Yd1 or Yy0 or ( Yz1 or Yz11)( depending upon if it is likely to go in parallal with other
existing supply at this voltage or further after steps up/down) instead of Dy11 or Dy1 for Earth fault Protection.

please give me advice
we will synchronize generator with condition like below;

– Transformer vector is Yd11
– Generator VT sensing on 6.6 kV
– Bus VT sensing on 70 kV
– VT sensing vector is Yy0
so i will use the Phase sifter transformer after Bus VT for canceled out of phase shift.
what the vector group of Phase shifter transformer that i need ?
