INSTRUCTOR NOTES AND THE FINAL DEGREE :

Procedure
1- We connect the circuit below with a low voltage side supplied from a three phase

.2- With a switch S open , we apply a small voltage from a three phase supply and check forzero voltage across the
open ends of delta.

.3- With a switch S open we increase three phase supply voltage in steps up to rated voltage

,while taking readings of all instruments.

.4- While the three phase supply we set at rated voltage ,we close the switch S and apply a reduced voltage
from a single phase supply to circulate a current from zero to 110% of full load phase current of the
transformer and we take readings of all instruments.

REPORT:
1 - Calculate and draw the efficiency and regulation curves ,comment on the results obtained. Ans //

.η % = 1- 𝑊𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 * 100 %
𝑊𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑙+𝑊3

Reg % = 𝑉𝑛.𝑙−𝑉𝑓.𝑙 *100 %

𝑉𝑓.𝑙

From these equation we find regulation & efficiency

When S is open the regulation & efficiency is about to be zeroAND When the S is

closed:

.2- What are the benefits obtained from this test when compared with, what may be obtained
from direct loading the transformer

Ans//

Open delta are two vTs connected phase to phase usually A-B and B-C with the secondary
outputs connected the same way with B ,this arrangement gives us readings for all three phase
to phase voltage it is usually set for 120 volt output
The open delta test is more likely to be compared with the back to back test of a single phase
transformer ,,we don’t have to connect a load to the machin.

3- State your conclusion about this method.

Ans ;

The Open Delta Connection is used to connect PTs. The connection uses two transformers one
on each phase. The output current, though, is only 57.5 percent of a normal three phase
connection. The capacity is consequently reduced to 86.6% of a normal three phase
configuration.
The Open Delta connection can be used where one transformer of a three phase PT assembly
has failed.
The open delta connection is cheaper that a conventional delta connected PT. Another
advantage of the open delta connection is that it can be used service one transformer in a
connection while the system runs on the other tow.
