ASSIGNMENT #3: TRANSFORMER
1. The three phase transformers are widely used in generation,
transmission and distribution system. Discuss the application,
construction and connections of three phase transformer, which include:
i) Wye‐wye (Y‐Y)
ii) Wye‐delta (Y‐∆)
iii) Delta‐Wye (∆‐Y)
iv) Delta‐Delta (∆‐∆)
2. A simple power system is shown in Figure 1 below. Find the current at the
generator, IG, transmission line, Iline and load, Iload. Analyze the power loss,
Ploss in the transmission line.
