It is required to connect a second transformer in parallel with the first transformer if the load exceeds the rating of the transformer shown in Figure 1.46. The primary windings are connected to the supply bus bars while the secondary windings are connected to the load bus bars. During paralleling of the transformer, similar polarities of the Transformers should be connected to the same bus bars shown in Figure 1.46. Otherwise, the two emfs induced in the secondary windings with incorrect polarities will produce the equivalent of a dead short circuit shown in Figure 1.47.
The following conditions are important for parallel Opera-tion of transformers:
- The voltage ratings of both the primary and the secondary of the transformers should be identical. Small differences are permissible if the resultant circulating currents can be tolerated.
- The connections of the transformers should be proper with respect to their polarities.
- The percentage impedances should be equal in magnitude and the X/R ratio must be the same to avoid circulating current and operation at different power factors.
- The equivalent impedances must be inversely proportional to the respective kVA ratings.
The above conditions must be satisfied by paralleling transformers of identical ratings of the same make/model. With different kVA ratings of even the same make/model, the effects in steps 1, 2 and 3 may appear in undesirable amounts. Step 2 must be carried out satisfactorily even if steps 1, 3 and 4 are slightly modified.

What else can I help you with?
What are the condition for transformer parallel operation?
CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR TRANSFORMER PARALLEL operation are.. 1. Voltage turn ratio. 2. phase sequence 3. Impedence should be same 4. polarity Hitesh
Why would you use a three phase transformer in place of a single phase transformer?
the necesscity of two three phase transformers operating in parallel are as follows...if the one transformer fails to give supply,then another transformer can be used in parallel and hance,continuity of supply can be maintained.one transformer can be easily take out from the supply for repair & maintanance.if the load on the substation increases beyond the rated values of transformer, then another transformer can be used to share rhe load of the substation.
What is the current of 1MVA transformer?
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
How you differentiate between single phase and three phase transformer?
A single-phase transformer works with a single-phase supply, while a 3-phase transformer is used with a 3-phase supply. A single-phase transformer has 2 wires on the primary and secondary (ignoring taps) while a 3-phase tansformer has 3 or 4 wires on the primary and secondary.
How do you design a transformer with three phase 400v input and single phase 2000v output?
By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.

What is importance of vector group of transformer?
The vector group of a transformer is important for determining the phase relationship and polarity of the transformer windings. It helps ensure proper operation and connection of the transformer in the electrical system. Additionally, the vector group is essential for parallel operation of transformer units to avoid phase shifts and ensure synchronization.
What are operation of single-phase transformer?
To stept up or step down the voltage of transmisson of electricity.

How do you convert a 3-phase system to a single phase?
By having a transformer with 3 phase input and single phase out put
Why the need of harmonics in single phase transformer?
Harmonics are really not needed in single phase transformers.
What is this system called with three single phase transformer?
Your question is rather vague. If you are asking what do you call a group of single-phase transformers, connected to supply three phase, then the answer is a 'three-phase transformer bank'.

How do you test a single phase transformer?
with an meg ohm meter
Would you install three-phase transformer or bank of three single phase transformer in a large power station and justify by comparing the two schemes?
A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.
