What is the Tertiary Winding of Transformer?

Tertiary Winding Definition

The tertiary winding in a transformer is an additional winding besides the primary and secondary windings, creating a three-winding transformer.

Delta Connection

The tertiary winding’s delta connection helps limit fault current during short circuits.

Stabilization Role

In star-star transformers, the tertiary winding stabilizes the system by allowing the circulation of zero-sequence currents.

Rating and Design

The design of the tertiary winding depends on its use, requiring considerations for load capacity or short-duration fault currents.

Advantages of Tertiary Winding

It reduces the unbalancing in the primary due to unbalancing in three phase load.
It redistributes the flow of fault current.
Sometime it is required to supply an auxiliary load in different voltage level in addition to its main secondary load. This secondary load can be taken from tertiary winding of three winding transformer.
As the tertiary winding is connected in delta formation in 3 winding transformer, it assists in limitation of fault current in the event of a short circuit from line to neutral.

Fault Analysis and Treatment of Oil-Immersed Transformers

Fault Analysis and Treatment of Oil-Immersed Transformers

Oil Leakage at Welded JointsOil leakage at welded joints primarily stems from poor welding quality, such as incomplete or detached welds, and defects like pinholes and gas pores. Although oil-immersed transformers are initially coated with solder and paint during manufacturing, potentially masking these issues temporarily, the defects tend to surface during operation. Additionally, electromagnetic vibration can cause weld cracks, leading to oil leakage.To resolve such leaks, the first critical s

What losses occur during operation of the transformer? How to reduce losses?

Transformers experience various types of losses during operation, primarily categorized into two main types: copper losses and iron losses.Copper LossesCopper losses, also known as I²R losses, are caused by the electrical resistance of the transformer windings—typically made of copper. As current flows through the windings, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. These losses are proportional to the square of the load current (I²R), meaning they increase significantly with high

Transformer Detection, Testing, Maintenance and Servicing

Transformer testing, inspection, and maintenance are essential tasks to ensure normal operation and extend the service life of transformers. Below are some recommended steps:Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the transformer's exterior, including the enclosure, cooling system, and oil tank. Ensure the enclosure is intact, free from corrosion, damage, or leakage.Insulation Resistance Testing: Use an insulation resistance tester to check the transformer's insulation system. Verify that the insul

I. DC Resistance Test of Transformer Primary and Secondary Windings:The DC resistance of transformer primary and secondary windings can be measured using the four-wire (Kelvin) method, which is based on principles related to accurate resistance measurement.In the four-wire method, two test leads are connected to both ends of the winding under test, while the other two leads are connected to adjacent winding terminals. An AC power source is then applied to the two leads connected to the adjacent
