Abstract:
A combination apparatus of distribution transformer and switch includes a distribution transformer with three-phase and five-column, wherein the arrangement of the low-voltage winding in WYEo-form, the high voltage winding of each phase is connected in series with a high voltage fuse to constitute respectively one of the three high voltage phase arms, and the arrangement in high voltage side is DELTA form which is formed with one high voltage phase arm as one unit. The apparatus can be used in the system in which the neutral is not connected to the ground, or the neutral is connected to the ground through extinguishing-arc coil or through small resistance, and in the system in which the neutral is connected to the ground directly as well. It is possible that the fault phase does not disturb the normal operation of the other phases.
Abstract:
A phase shifting transformer or autotransformer for a three phase power distribution network in which selected outputs have a low zero phase sequence impedance. At least one low zero phase sequence impedance output is fed by a plurality of windings distributed amongst the three core legs such that the number of turns of windings generating a flux in the positive direction is substantially equal to the number of turns of windings generating a flux in the negative direction. Thus, according to the invention, the transformer may be provided with any necessary phase shifting angles between different harmonic sources, with some or all outputs having a low zero phase sequence impedance to reduce voltage distortion created by zero phase sequence harmonics.
Abstract:
A three-phase autotransformer improving balance of three-phase voltages and currents. An iron core has three legs corresponding to the three phase. A common winding and/or a serial winding of each phase includes three coils. Two of the three coils are wound on the same leg associated with the phase of the coils, and the other one coil is wound on another leg. The two coils and the other one coil are connected in series to generate magnetic flux in the opposite directions. Since the common winding and/or the series winding includes coils which are wound on different legs associated with different phases, and which generate flux in opposite directions, the balance of three-phase input voltages and currents, and output voltages and currents is automatically maintained.

A summing transformer having a core structure, first primary and secondary windings wound on the core structure for establishing a rotating electromagnetic field when the first primary winding is energized, and second primary and secondary windings wound on the core structure for establishing a rotating electromagnetic field when the second primary winding is energized, and wherein the second first and second secondary windings are connected together so that voltages induced therein are added.
Abstract:
A three phase transformer, e.g. a distribution transformer comprising three, substantially identical, frame shaped winding assemblies each containing primary and secondary windings which together form half legs having substantially semicircular cross section. The winding assemblies are placed together to form a triangular structure, so called temple configuration, wherein the half legs of adjacent winding assemblies combine into three legs having substantially circular cross section. A magnetic circuit is formed around each leg by winding a continuous strip of a ferromagnetic sheet material around the leg.
Abstract:
A phase-shifting transformer including main and series transformer units comprises a six-phase core including six independent magnetic circuits, numbered first through sixth from right to left. The combined U-, V-, and W-phase windings of the main transformer unit link with the fifth, third, and first magnetic circuits, respectively. The combined a-, b-, and c-phase windings of the series transformer unit link with the sixth, fourth, and second magnetic circuits. The winding directions of the V- and b-phase windings are reversed with respect to those of other phase windings. Thus, if three-phase voltages 120 degrees apart are input to the main transformer unit, then the phase angles between the main magnetic fluxes generated in any two adjacent magnetic circuits are equal to 30 degrees. Consequently, the magnitudes of the differential magnetic fluxes passing through the interphase portions between two adjacent magnetic circuits are reduced to about one half of the magnitudes of the main magnetic fluxes, with the result that the cross-sectional area of the interphase portions of the core can be reduced to about one half of that of its main leg portions.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a structure of neutral point of multiphase transformers for large secondary currents. Such multiple phase transformers, usually three phase transformers, are used for example for the operations of arc furnaces, and the secondary current of the transformer may amount to several thousand ampere. The neutral point is made as a plate (24) of material with good electric conductivity and is located within the transformer tank (27). Between the neutral point plate (24) and the tank wall (27) there is located a plate (25) of a material with good conductivity and serving as a screen for reducing losses in the tank wall (screen plate). The transformer is star connected on the secondary side. Each phase of the secondary winding consists of several windings connected in parallel, and the tappings are passed as parallel conductors onto the neutral point plate (24). The neutral point tappings (22) are connected to the neutral point plates (24), whereas the phase tappings are passed through openings both in the neutral point plate (24) and the screen plate (25) onto insulating ducts (26) in the tank wall (27).
Abstract:
A phase-shift transformer circuit providing advance or retard phase shift at any predetermined phase shift angle. The phase shift angle is determined by the ratio of the main and short windings of the transformer primary. Two links are used to provide advance or retard phase shift. One transformer winding is connected directly to a phase conductor of the three-phase power system. The remaining two transformer windings are connected to the remaining two phase conductors via the links. The links are movable such that in the advance configuration, the phase two conductor is connected to one of the transformer windings and the phase three conductor is connected to the other. In the retard phase-shift configuration, the links are moved so that the connections are reversed.
