Introduction of three phase transformer
In power plants and substations, the transformers are used to transfer voltages. Transformers input multiple windings can input different voltage, meanwhile, multiple windings can also used for output voltage. For three phase transformer, it has three windings, and be connected with different connection (such as: star, delta).

What is a three phase transformer？
A three phase transformer is a combination of three single-phase transformers of the same capacity.
It has three core legs, each of which is wound around two coils of the same phase, one is a high-voltage coil and the other is a low-voltage coil. Three-phase electricity is generated. A generator with equal amplitude, equal frequency, and phase difference of 120* potential is called a three-phase generator; using a three-phase generator as a power source is called a three-phase power source; a circuit powered by a three-phase power source is called a three-phase circuit .

Three-phase control transformer
Three-phase control transformer is widely used in various three-phase power supply occasions with AC 50-60HZ, input and output voltage not exceeding 1000V. It is very suitable for three-phase power transformers in low-voltage switchgear and electrical transmission control equipment. Different input and output voltages, connect types, taps, distribution of winding capacity, secondary single The configuration of the phase winding, the use of the rectifier circuit, whether it is required to have a casing, etc.,
The transformers will able to designed and manufactured according to customer’s requirements.
Three-phase autotransformer
The three-phase autotransformer has no primary and secondary windings,
The input and output use the same winding coil, and the tap change of the coil is used to achieve the voltage regulation.
It is a transformer without isolation between input and output, generally used for voltage regulation
[such as a voltage regulator for refrigerators], or other purposes such as single-phase motor speed regulation, but work in
Circuits and equipment under safe voltage are not allowed to use such transformers.
What is the difference between single phase and three phase transformer?
Different definitions
Single-phase transformer transformer, with the electromagnetic induction principle , it can transfer AC voltage. For single phase transformer, it consists of input coil, output coil , iron core made of silicon steel sheet. In electric field, it is generally used for voltage rise and fall, impedance matching, safety isolation, etc.
Three-phase transformer:
One three phase transformer can be seen as combination of 3 sets of single phase transformers of the same capacity. Generally it is three core-legged, sometimes 4 or 5 legged. In the leg it is wound around 2 coils of the same phase, they are HV winding and LV winding.
Different applications
Single phase transformer are frequently used in in low voltage distribution networks , and it’s load is small.
Three-phase transformer: Three phase transformer is widely used AC circuit and the frequency is 50Hz or 60H, in many industries such as precision machine tools, mechanical and electronic equipment, medical equipment, rectifiers, lighting, etc.
Different characteristics
Single phase transformer has simple structure, the voltage, capacity is smaller, and volume is small.Compare with 3 phase transformer, it has lower iron loss.
A three-phase transformer can contain the neutral grounding, which can alleviate the common mode interference of the power grid. The three-phase four-wire system of the three-phase transformer changes the delta connection to the star connection.

What is Star and Delta Connection in transformer?
Three phase transformer connections, we are going to explain the three phase transformer delta wye connection.
The star connection is a connection method in which the three ends of the three-phase load are connected together as a common terminal, and three live wires are drawn from the three head ends. Angular connection is a connection method in which the beginning and end of each phase of the three-phase load are connected in sequence.

What happens if one phase of a 3 phase transformer fails？
One three-phase transformer has A, B, and C three phase to supply power. Under normal circumstances, the three-phase current should be the same size, so as to achieve the ideal operating state of three-phase balance. Therefore, it is easy to damage the transformer when the transformer is in phase loss operation or the three phases are unbalanced. When a phase of a three-phase transformer is out of phase, the phase-opening current is minimum or even 0, which will cause the current of the other two phases to suddenly increase, the temperature of the transformer coil and iron core will increase, and abnormal noise will occur during operation. even burn out.
When poor contact occurs, the contact surface of the wire is poor, which causes the contact area at the joint to become smaller, and the overcurrent capacity decreases, and its resistance value is larger than the original. It is equivalent to connecting a large resistor in series on the circuit, which has energy loss. If the current is large to a certain extent, it will heat up.
