I need a 120V 208V 3 phase What size of 3 phase transformer do you need?
The sizing of transformers is based on an accumulation of all of the loads that will be connected to it. Add up all of your loads and possible loads in the future and then tell your installer the figures and they will use these to calculate the size of the transformer that is needed.
What will happen if apply two phase supply to a three phase transformer?
A three phase transformer is simply three transformers so, supplying one phase to a set of three transformers will result in only one phase output. Any loads connected to that transformer that are expecting three phase power will malfunction, and could fail.AnswerA three-phase transformer is NOT 'three separate single-phase transformers', as suggested in the original answer. It is a single transformer with three primary and secondary phase-windings wound around a common three-limb ('core') or five-limb ('shell') core. If a single-phase supply was applied to one of the three primary windings, then single phase voltages would appear across each of the three secondary windings and the remaining two primary windings. These voltages would not be out of phase with each other.
Why the power factor of load is not fixed on the transformer?
Because the transformer designer does not know the power factors of the different loads that might be connected to it. The way round this probem is to specify the voltage and the maximum current that the transformer can supply, then multply them together and print the VA, kVA or MVA rating on the transformer. Then it's up to the user to comply with this rating to avoid damaging the transformer.
What are the possible causes if load is not same on all the three phases?
You may have single phase loads on one winding, turn to turn faults within one winding, the three phase voltage applied to the transformer may not be balanced, and so on. If you have only three phase loads attached, and the load impedance is not balanced, you may have a partially failed piece of equipment. Part of one of the motor windings may be shorted out, for example.
Why doesn't the primary winding on a transformer have a neutral?
In a three phase transformer, the primary winding is often configured in a Delta. The delta winding configuration does not use a neutral. The secondary winding is often in a Wye configuration, which does have a neutral. The Delta configuration is typically used for transmitting power to various locations, and thee phase loads where a neutral is not needed. The Wye configuration is typically used to distribute power in a facility where there are single phase loads that need a neutral. There are other reasons to use either Wye or Delta, such as grounding issues, but I think the short answer is probably what you're looking for (I hope). Hope this helps! Dave
If the loads were only 240v on a single phase 240v system with a center tapped transformer the neutral conductor would carry?
If a load were only 240 volt on a single phase 240v system with a center tapped transformer the neutral conductor would carry no current.

Is mutual flux in transformer constant for all loads?
The flux is set by the voltage applied to the transformer. In most applications, the voltage is constant, and therefore the flux is constant also.
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.

When three single phase tronsformer is conneted to star what will be the phase shift between each phases?
When 3ph transformer of required capacity is unavailable in that place 3 single phase bank is used. More over this bank works well in conditions where there's unbalance of loads. When there's quite small 3ph load you can isolate one transformer to create open delta connection. In bank nd single 3ph transfo's there wont be any change in maintaining phase shift
Why are iron losses constant at all loads in a transformer?
because iron loss is depends on frequency and it is constant through out the operation ...irrespective from load

I think kavval is single i don't know for sure

How many amps do you need to supply a 150kva transformer to get 118amps 480 volts?
Rephrase your question, as it doesn't make any sense. If the primary side of the transformer is 480 volts 3 phase, this transformer can be supplied from a breaker as big as 180 amps. If 480 volts 3 phase is your secondary then you can supply up to 180 amps to your loads.
