USE FOR 3 PHASE SUPPLY REQUIREMENT BUT WITH ENGINEERING ECONOMICS BACKGROUND. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR REQUIREMENT IS ONLY 500 KVA AT THE MOMENT BUT HAVE PLANS FOR EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE THEN YOU HAVE TO INVEST ONLY FOR 2 NOS. OF 333 KVA TRANSFORMER CONNECTED LIKE REMOVING ONE LEG OF DELTA SHAPE. YOU WILL HAVE A CAPACITY OF 3 X 333KVA DIVIDED BY SQUARE ROOT OF 3 = 577 KVA(57.7% OF CLOSED DELTA) WHICH SATISFY YOUR PRESENT REQUIREMENT. IN THE TIME YOU WANT TO EXPAND LOAD - JUST ADD ONE UNIT 333 KVA TO BE A CLOSED DELTA IT WILL GIVE YOU 999=1000KVA CAPACITY(42.3% MORE).

Open delta means that you use two Transformers connected (secondary) delta as if they were part of three transformers in a 3 phase system. You still get 3 phase power, and this can be a lower cost solution in a low load system, but balance and stability is affected.

What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?

An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.


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.


How far is delta arietis the star from the earth?

There is no object that is simply called "delta". On the other hand, there are several that have delta as part of their name, usually followed by the constellation, e.g. delta orionis, delta canis maioris, etc.

Can you list the Advantages of delta system over star system?

If one phase becomes damaged or open, the remaining two phases can still deliver three-phase power but at a reduced capacity. It is refered to as an open delta.


Why open delta voltage is zero in normal condition?

Assume a Delta connection (triangle connection) is closed. then each corner of the triangle, as one point, is considered 0 Volt. Now if you open that point, still you have 0 Volt.


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.
