5. Calculation:
Line Voltage T/F ratio:
The turn ratio of each transformer is a:1=1:1. Therefore, a=1.
Let the input phase voltage be V.

6. Precautions

1. In the SC Test, the input voltage should be varied slowly because a small
variation in the input voltage can cause a huge variation in the current.
2. Make sure that the windings are connected in the proper phase
relationships.
3. The power should be turned on when the circuit is checked completely.

4. Connecting leads should be perfectly insulated.

5. The voltage across the terminals of the transformer should not increase
the rated voltage. This could destroy the insulation in the transformer.
6. The current in the coils of the transformer should not exceed the rated
current. This could burn up the transformer windings.
7. When connecting three-phase transformers, the secondary Δ side should

never be closed until a test is first made to determine that the voltage
within the Δ is zero.

7. Conclusions
1. Three phase transformers connections Y-Y, Y-D, D-Y and D-D were
simulated in simulink.
2. Y-Y three phase transformer results of load test were noted and
compared with the practical results provided.
3. Various loads were tested on the implementation and results were
consistent with the theory studied.
4. All the results are within permissible limits. Although some practical

results were a little different from the simulated results due to the
experimentation errors.
