About vector group concept of transformers

In summary, the vector group concept is used to represent the relationship between the primary and secondary windings of a transformer. It is important in transformer design as it affects the performance, operation, and efficiency of the transformer. The vector group is determined by the physical arrangement and winding connections, and there are several types of vector groups with unique characteristics and applications. The vector group also has a significant impact on transformer operation, determining the phase relationship, energy flow, and polarity of the windings.

How we speak about the coil of primary in phase of a versus secondary coil
this is accepted (as there is on same core)

But question about
we say this transformer (ex) is vector group Dy11
that means phase difference between primary and secondary voltage is 330 angle
!

It's conflicted with that versus coil are the same phase

!

I have no idea what you are asking - DY11? Delta Wye? --- first part of your question seems to be about a single phase transformer, then second part a 3 phase?
 

Related to About vector group concept of transformers

1. What is the vector group concept of transformers?

The vector group concept is a way of representing the relationship between the primary and secondary windings of a transformer. It is based on the phase angle difference between the primary and secondary voltages and is used to specify the connection and polarity of the transformer windings.

2. Why is the vector group important in transformer design?

The vector group is important because it affects the performance, operation, and efficiency of the transformer. It determines the direction of energy flow, the magnitude of voltage and current, and the phase relationship between them.

3. How is the vector group determined for a transformer?

The vector group is determined by the physical arrangement of the primary and secondary windings, as well as the direction of winding connections. This information is usually specified by the manufacturer and can be found on the transformer nameplate.

4. What are the different types of vector groups for transformers?

There are several types of vector groups, including Dyn, YNd, YNy, Dzn, YNyn, and ZNy. Each one represents a different configuration of the transformer windings and has its own unique characteristics and applications.

5. How does the vector group affect transformer operation?

The vector group determines the phase relationship between the primary and secondary voltages, which affects the magnitude and direction of energy flow. It also determines the polarity of the windings, which can impact the magnetic flux and voltage regulation of the transformer.
