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.

What is the current drawn in star as compared to delta?
Star voltage is 1 / 1.732, or 0.577 delta voltage. (1.732 is the square root of 3.) It follows, then, that star current is 0.577 delta current.Not asked, but answered for completeness, star power is 0.5772, or 0.3333 delta power. This is why large motors use a star-delta start sequence - to minimize startup thermal stress.
Should a star-delta motor be supplied wye or delta power?
A star-delta motor should be supplied star-delta.Wye is simply another name for star. Star-delta motors use a star or wye configuration to start, and a delta configuration to run. This reduces the voltage on the windings during the high current starting time.

What size of electric motor that requires wye delta starter?
10 hp and above motor power rating....
Why there is no neutral conductor in power transmission lines?
Using a distribution system (e.g. 11 kV in the UK) as an example, the primary of a three-phase distribution transformer is delta-connected, which requires to be supplied by three line conductors. So a neutral conductor is superfluous.
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.
Another name for y -or wye - connected system of a polyphase power is?
It is not true that another name for the "Y" or "wye-connected" system of polyphase power is the "delta" system. It's called the "star" system.
Explain the open delta fault in the power system.what is the use of the protection.?
There some kind of relays that need measure zero sequence voltage. For instance: - To polarize a phase-to-neutral distance relay - To detect a fault-to-ground in a system grounded by thre-phase generator with star connection. A TP in a star-open delta connection can provide a 3V0 information.
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 Delta Mu Delta's motto?
The motto of Delta Mu Delta is 'Through Knowledge, Power'.
How Capacitor Banks works in Electrical System?
Capacitors used in delta connections so that they increase the power factor
Can you join two of single phase to two phase power system?
This is a rubbish questionTwo single phase transformers can be combined together to make a three phase system. It does not become a two phase system. Look up information of an open delta wired distribution system to see how they are tied together.See related links below.
What is open delta?
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).
What happens when a phase gets short and also when it get opened in a delta and star connection?
In star connection when two phase is short,it work as single phase system. In delta when one phase is open ,it work as a single phase.
How many seasons did power rangers space patrol delta have?
Power Rangers Space Patrol Delta has one season.
