Experiment Name:Threes-Phase Transformer Using Two Single-Phase Transformer
(Open-∆ Connection).
SUBMITTED BY SUBMITTED TO
Objective:
• The experiment demonstrates how two single-phase transformers can create a three-phase
supply at reduced capacity, approximately 57.7% of a full three-phase bank.
• It investigates voltage ratios, phase relationships, and efficiency under different load
conditions.
• Practical applications and limitations of the open-delta connection in electrical power
systems are also explored.
In the open-delta configuration, only two transformers are present, each contributing to the total
power.
To find the fraction of power delivered by the open-delta system compared to the full-delta
system:

S VLIL
Fraction of power = open delta = √3 = 0.577
PFull delta 3 VLIL
The open-delta (V-V) connection delivers approximately 57.7% of the power of a full delta (Δ-Δ)
configuration.

Conclusion:
An open-delta connection with two single-phase transformers can efficiently deliver three-phase power,
particularly when losses are minimized, and load conditions are optimized. This setup offers around 57.7%
of the capacity of a full three-phase transformer, making it ideal for moderate loads. It is cost-effective
and space-efficient but less suitable for high-power applications due to lower efficiency. Proper
transformer selection and careful operation are critical for achieving stable performance and improved
efficiency.
