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.

Where is the use of earth transformer?
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
What is open delta in power system?
An open delta is a transformer configuration where only two single phase transformers can be used to serve three phase load. If you have phases A, B, C, an open delta would be having a transformer connected from A to B, and another one connected from B to C, but no transformer from C back to A. This works for balanced three phase loads, but can only be operated at 58% of the the transformer's rating. This connection is used sometimes to lower initial costs for a plant that is expected to grow in load. 2 transformers need to be bought, so you save on not buying the third until load reaches the point it is needed. It also comes in handy if transformers need to be serviced, and a plant cannot come completely off line. If it can reduce load to below 58% the transformer rating, then one transformer at a time can be removed from service and worked on.
Is a step up transformer a Ynd or a Dyn?
Whether a transformer is 'step up' or 'step down' has nothing to do with the way its windings are connected, so it could be wye-delta or delta-wye.
How do you connect an earthing transformer with delta connected secondary?
You have to connect each phase (R,Y & B respectively) of earthing transformer zig zag winding to each phase of power transformer delta secondary respectively. Then the zig zag winding of earthing transformer star point to be earthed.
What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
What is the percent efficiency of an open delta connected transformer?
67%
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.
If one transformer of a delta transformer bank fails the bank can be reconnected open delta and operate at reduced efficiency?
yes open all fuses close the primary neutral tap,remove secondary leads off of bad traansformer,tell customer to reduce his load until bad transformer can be replced.
Where is the use of earth transformer?
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
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.
What is open delta connection explain with circuit diagrams?
If one of the transformer is unable to operate, then the supply used to load can be continued with the remaining tow transformers at the cost of reduced efficiency. This is known as open delta connection or V-V connection.

You have to connect each phase (R,Y & B respectively) of earthing transformer zig zag winding to each phase of power transformer delta secondary respectively. Then the zig zag winding of earthing transformer star point to be earthed.
Application of Y-delta transformations?
delta-wye is a common type of 3-phase transformer configuration. It offers a good voltage gain and the delta transformer is useful in unstable systems for removing the third harmonics. The transformation is necessary for analyzing the circuit.
