Q. Three single phase transformers, each with 10 KVA rating connected in delta. If one of the transformer is damaged and taken out , the output of the system will be

A
20 KVA
B
17.4 KVA
C
8.66 KVA
D
10 KVA
Solution:

When two transformers are installed in an open-delta configuration, the total bank capacity can be found by the use of the following procedure.

  1. Add the two individual transformer kVA ratings. (For the problem given, the single-phase transformers are rated at 50 kVA.)

10= 20kVA

  1. Then multiply the total kVA value by 86.5 percent. This will give the total kVA capacity of the open-delta transformer bank.

20 x 86.5% = 17.4 kVA
