Does open delta three phase transformer connection is used to convert three phase to two phase?

Two phase is not used anywhere. What you may be thinking is center tapped single phase (negative voltage at one terminal, neutral at 0, and positive at the other, all in phase so you can get 120 volts or 240 volts). Open delta would be used for three phase power. A single transformer can be used for single phase power. If you have limitted three phase power, and mostly single phase power needs, two Transformers could be connected to provide both.

An 'open-delta' connection is used to provide a temporary three-phase supply to a load, from a three-phase transformer bank when one of the transformers has been removed due to failure. Linesmen can rewire the remaining two transformers in such a way that they still provide a three-phase supply, albeit at a reduced capacity.
The open-delta connection can also be used to provide an initial (lower-cost) three-phase supply to a load when an increase in that load is anticipated at some time in the future. Adding a third-transformer then adds capacity to the existing transformer bank to match the predicted load increase.
Two-phase systems are archaic and are unlikely to be encountered, these days. They are provided by alternators with two armature windings, displaced by 90 degrees.

How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
What is The Connection in three phase transformer?
the connection here meant for the connection of windings in three core or limbs of a transformer. it might be delta or star connected.
What are the problems associated with the three-phase transformer connection?
One must check the design of the transformer windings. STAR - Delta or Star to star or Delta - star or Delta Delta. Wiring must be done accordingly.
Why vector group is required?
There are various ways in which you can connect a three-phase transformer's primary and secondary windings, or in which you can connect three single-phase transformers to create a three-phase transformer bank. For example: wye-wye, wye-delta, delta-delta, delta-wye, etc.For each connection, there is a natural phase shift between the primary and secondary line voltages. This is called the angular displacement (or 'phase displacement') of the transformer connection.If you wish to parallel two three-phase transformers, or two three-phase transformer banks, then their angular displacements must be the same (there are also other requirements not relevant to this answer).A vector group is a method of specifying a three-phase transformer (or transformer bank) method of connection and its angular displacement. Transformer connections from the same group can be paralleled. Those in different groups cannot
What is phase shift in three phase transformer?
The phase shift in three-phase transformer from winding of Transformer and determine by vectorgroup of transformer such as YNd1 High voltage connect to wye Low Voltage connect to delta so L.V. lag H.V 30 degree.Answer'Phase shift' or, more accurately, 'angular displacement', is the angle between the secondary line voltages and primary line voltages of a three-phase transformer.
Can you hook up a delta to delta transformer to be a delta to wye transformer?
The open Delta or V-Connection transformer is an improvement of the 1 three-phase transformer. The open Delta transformer can restore power in a Delta-Delta three-phase bank when one of the three single-phase transformers, which can be individually disconnected and replaced in case of failure, breaks down. The open Delta transformer then allows functionality to be restored, but at a reduced power of 57.7 of the original power.
What is the voltage phase shift between primary and secondary line voltages in star-delta transformer connection?
The voltage phase shift between primary and secondary connections in a transformer is 180 electrical degrees.
Why is star connection used in a three phase transformer?
The power of all three phases can be transmitted on three conductors.A star connection, as opposed to a delta, provides a grounding reference. Also, for ground faults on the secondary (assuming no delta third winding, or source third winding) will be a direct ratio similar to phase faults, instead of 57%. Another reason is to avoid the inherent phase shift involved in a delta/star configured transformer.Another AnswerA 'star-connected' secondary is the standard European connection for a three-phase distribution transformer, as it provides a line voltage of 400 V together with a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V.
Is there a neutral on a three phase transformer?
It depends on whether you are wye or delta connected. A transformer is a transformer, and a three phase transformer is simply three transformers. The key is in how you hook them up.AnswerIt depends on how the transformer is connected. If one set of windings is connected in star (or wye), then the star point is/canbe earthed and becomes the neutral for that particular connection; this is the standard connection for the secondary (low-voltage) of European distribution transformers. In North American three-phase distribution transformers, the secondary windings are connected in delta, and one phase is centre tapped, earthed, and that becomes the neutral point for a 240/120-V split-phase supply to a residence.This answer applies to both three-phase transformers, and to single-phase transformers which have been connected to form a three-phase transformer bank. (It is incorrect to say that a three-phase transformer is simply three single-phase transformers!)
What are the effects to the transformer insulation of single phasing on a three phase Delta-Wye connection?
The effect of the insulation is to stop electric currents flowing where they should not.
What is the advantage of an open delta transformer?
An open-delta connection is a method of providing a three-phase supply, using two single-phase transformers. It is particularly useful if , say, one single-phase transformer, part of a three single-phase transformers forming a three-phase transformer bank, becomes damaged -allowing the two remaining transformers to provide a temporary three-phase supply to the load. The drawback with this connection is that the capacity of the transformer bank is reduced, and it can only provide a lower load current.
What is a phase shifting transformer?
This applies to three-phase transformer connections. 'Phase shift' or 'angular displacement', is defined as 'the angle by which the secondary line-to-line voltage lags the primary line-to-line voltage'.Angular displacement depends on the type of transformer connection. The most common are:delta/delta results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180owye/wye results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180odelta/wye results in an angular displacement of 30o or 210owye/delta results in an angular displacement of 0o or 180oThe angular displacement for all possible combinations of three-phase transformer connections are listed in transformer vector group charts.Angular displacement determines whether or not it would be possible to parallel different types of three-phase transformer connections. For example, from the above data, it would be impossible to parallel, for example, a delta/delta transformer with a delta/wye transformer.
