One of the transformers has center taps both on the primary and
secondary winding and is known as the main transformer.
The other transformer has a 0.866 tap and is known as teaser
transformer. One end of both the primary and secondary of the teaser
transformer is joined to the center taps on both primary and secondary of the
main transformer respectively. Primary are connected to the supply.
1. Current in the teaser transformer is in phase with the voltage.
2. In the main transformer, Current leads the voltage by 30 0 across one half
but lags the voltage by 300 across the other half as shown in vector
diagram
Hence, when the balanced load of power factor= cos Φ, is applied the
teaser current will lag or lead the voltage by Φ, while in the two halves of
the main transformer, the angle between current and voltage will be (30 0 - Φ)
& (300 + Φ). The situation is similar to that existing in a V-V connection.

Procedure: -
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Note down the primary and secondary voltages. Note that voltages of
the two secondary phases are equal.
3. Apply equal loads across two secondaries such that equal currents flow
in two secondary windings.
4. Record primary currents of all the 3-lines, primary voltages and
secondary voltages.
5. Repeat 4 and 5 steps to various loads.
6. Apply different loads on two secondaries such that two currents in the
secondary are not equal.
7. Repeat above steps to various load settings.
8. Calculate I1T and I1M values at different loads and compare them with
practical values.
