Δ - Δ Connected Transformer

The schematic diagram of a Δ - Δ connected transformer is shown in Fig. 7.13. Now we have

(7.61)

Therefore from (7.61) we get

(7.62)

 

 

The sequence components of the line-to-line voltage VAB can be written in terms of the sequence com ponents of the line-to-neutral voltage as



(7.63)

 

 



(7.64)

 

 

Therefore combining (7.62)-(7.64) we get

(7.65)

 

 

Hence we get

(7.66)

 

 

Thus the positive and negative sequence equivalent circuits are represented by a series impedance that is equal to the leakage impedance of the transformer. Since the Δ -connected winding does not provide any path for the zero sequence current to flow we have

 

 

 

However the zero sequence current can sometimes circulate within the Δ windings. We can then draw the zero sequence equivalent circuit as shown in Fig. 7.14.
