There are a number of advantages why three phase (delta or Y configuration) is preferred over single phase circuit. The best advantage is that the each of the three lines in a three phase circuit can act as single phase thus effectively getting three single phase circuits in one transmission. Another advantage is whether it's single phase or three phase, the generation is the same, therefore three phase has more practical value. Also, the instantaneous power in single phase falls to zero but in three phase system, the net power from all the phases is continuous.

∙ 11y agoIn North America, a combination of three-phase and split-phase single-phase is provided with distribution Transformers having a secondary delta connection. One of the three secondary 240-V windings is centre-tapped, providing 240 V across that entire winding, or 120 V between either outer end of that winding and the centre tap. At the same time,
his connection provides a three-phase supply with 240-V line voltage.
European systems use distribution transformers with star- or wye-connected secondary connections. This provides a three-phase, four-wire, system having a line voltage (line-to-line) of 400 V and a phase voltage (line-to-neutral) of 230 V.

How many contactors are used in a star-delta starter?
3 contactors are used: one for the main incoming service lines, one to make the star connection and one for the delta connection. Auxiliary to the contactors, a delay timer, adjustable from 500-1000 seconds, is used to shift from star to delta configuration.
What is the difference between a Y - delta starter and a star - delta starter?
No difference. Y is used as a symbol to indicate the star connection.
What is vector group of power transformer?
Hi first of all Vector group used to determine the PHASE shift of the TRANSFORMER as well as the PRIMARY and SECONDARY connection information. Let taken an example:- YNyn0d1 It means CAPITAL LETTERS indicates the primary side of winding detail's small letters for secondary side detail's DELTA CONNECTION Symbol D OR d is used and connection WYE used Y OR y for PRIMARY and SECONDARY. If WYE connection is their neutral always come so we used suffix N OR n. Now check PHASE angle Difference (PHASE ANGLE) see the last NUMERIC VALUE give correct information. Suppose we connect/compare two TRANSFORMER we first see its VECTOR GROUP if they matched then we do move to any connection. If any quarries fill-free to ask ajay.sahu099@gmail.com
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.
What does load cell used?
It used loads for it.
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.
Why you make initially star-connection then delta-connection?
This type of motor starting is used to reduce the inrush current to a lower level. Once the motor is operating at the lower level of run current it changes to a delta connection which allows the motor to operate at its full load amperage rating.
How many contactors are used in a star-delta starter?
3 contactors are used: one for the main incoming service lines, one to make the star connection and one for the delta connection. Auxiliary to the contactors, a delay timer, adjustable from 500-1000 seconds, is used to shift from star to delta configuration.
Why is star connection used in a three phase transformer?
The power of all three phases can be transmitted on three conductors.A star connection, as opposed to a delta, provides a grounding reference. Also, for ground faults on the secondary (assuming no delta third winding, or source third winding) will be a direct ratio similar to phase faults, instead of 57%. Another reason is to avoid the inherent phase shift involved in a delta/star configured transformer.Another AnswerA 'star-connected' secondary is the standard European connection for a three-phase distribution transformer, as it provides a line voltage of 400 V together with a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V.
What is the difference between a Y - delta starter and a star - delta starter?
No difference. Y is used as a symbol to indicate the star connection.
Why high voltage step down transformer uses delta as primary and wye connection as secondary?
because usually the step down transformers are used for supply so it requires neutral(return)path, we cant take neutral path through delta connection hence the star connection is used and mostly in step-down the star connection is used.
What is open delta connection in three phase transformer?
When you see "Delta" it is a kind of winding used in transformers or motors Think of a triangle. Each leg of the triangle is a winding. Power is connected to each of the three points of the triangle.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
What applications are star delta starters used for?
Star Delta starters are used for AC motors with higher rating (generally more than 11 KW) and with high initial torque load.
What is the difference between star delta and wye delta?
With a delta connection, picture a triangle. Each side of the triangle is a transformer or motor winding. Call the 3 corners of the triangle A, B, and C. There are only 3 wires except for a safety ground, which has no connection to, nor is any part of, the power transmission service lines.but for the star connection take our triangle above and use your wire cutters (literally) to cut the triangle apart at the corners. rearrange the three sides (transformer or motor windings) to form a Y. Where the three sides join in the centre, connect a fourth wire. Call this wire "neutral". Call the three ends A, B, and C. Connect the 3 supply service lines to A, B, and C.
