Question
A ∆-∆ connected transformer is connected to V-V connected transformer. The ratio of VA rating of the V-V connected transformer and ∆-∆ connected transformer is:
A.
0.777
B.
0.577
C.
0.677
D.
0.877
Correct option is B
To determine the ratio of the VA rating of a V - V connected transformer to a Δ−Δ connected transformer, we can use the relationship between the two configurations.In a Δ−(Delta-Delta) connection, all three phases are used, and the power transfer is maximized.However, in a V - V (or Open-Delta) connection, only two transformers are used instead of three, which results in a reduced power capacity. The VA rating of the V - V connection is 57.7% (or 31) of the VA rating of the Δ−Δ connection.Therefore, the ratio of the VA rating of the V - V connected transformer to the Δ−Δ connected transformer is:VA−Δ−ΔVA−V−V=0.577
