Tan Delta is also known as the 'loss angle' or 'dissipation factor'. It is used to test the level of degradation in insulation materials of electrical machines and power cables. The winding insulation of an electrical machine, or a cable free from defects, will act as a perfect capacitor, that is, it will only store energy and not dissipate it.
In an ideal capacitor, the voltage and current are out of phase by 90 degrees and the current flowing through the insulation is purely capacitive Ic. However, dielectric losses within the insulation due to deterioration or other factors, will result in the reduction of the resistance in the insulation. This will in turn increase the resistive current Ir. The phase angle between the current and voltage is now less than 90 degrees, and the extent to which this is less than 90 degrees gives the level of degradation in the insulation. So this 'loss angle' is required to be measured.
If the angle is Delta, then the tangent of Delta can be calculated by dividing is 'opposite over adjacent', which is Ir/Ic.
There are various methods of how this is tested and industrial standards, such as the IEC provide acceptable values of Tan-delta for different types of insulation.

Where is the use of earth transformer?
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
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 Back to back test of a transformer?
Back to back testing of a transformer can be better explained if you check the diagram in the resource area.
What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
How many tests are done in tan delta testing?

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.
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.

Why Tan delta tests are conducted and what is the permissible limits?
tan delta test means we test the healthiness dielectric strength of bushing present condition,at this same time we maser capacitance also .conductor surrounding oil impregnated paper is there it is terminated at test point,it is equivalent to capacitance .Healthy capacitor current and by 90 degrees.during deterioration time some resistance added,resultant is leakage current,it is checked by we conducting tan delta.this resultant values compared to manufacturer reports and factory test reports.tan delta value always in percentage.Allowable value for tan delta test is 0.8 %tan delta also called loss angle.test details : we are using megger kit,it is combination of control unit and transformer unit.we are applying 2kv 5kv 10kvour kit capacity is 12kv. you have one dought here ,Wye we are applying higher voltages for higher transformers bushings,you remember one thing here we increase voltage ,will not increaseloss factor (tan delta)
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.
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.
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.
