Three-Phase Transformer
Transformer for changing voltage and transferring electrical energy in a three-phase system.
A three-phase transformer transfers and converts electrical energy between three-phase AC systems.
Primary and secondary phase windings may be connected in different arrangements, and the vector group defines the relative phase displacement between sides.
Depending on the connection arrangement, the neutral or star point of the primary and secondary winding systems may be brought out and made accessible for connection.
Principal characteristics include rated apparent power, line and phase voltages, currents, frequency, vector group, short-circuit impedance, losses, and thermal characteristics.
Selection criteria include the network arrangement, neutral availability, vector group, power, voltages, electrical insulation, cooling method, and transformer application.
