Issue:
Most three phase Transformers have Delta primaries, with no neutral
Product Line:
LV Transformers
Environment:
Applies to LV Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric
Cause:
Delta Primaries are inherently more stable
Resolution:
SquareD/Schneider Electric provides Wye primary on Delta secondary with center tap Transformers (T151 voltage code). The primary of this unit does not provide a terminal for a neutral. Connecting the primary of a Transformer to the neutral point of a Wye system can cause troublesome neutral currents during times of imbalance. Generally, it is best to select a Delta primary for most 3 phase applications, even when connecting to a Wye power system. Other custom Wye primary Transformers may also be available for Solar and Alternative Energy applications. Inquire about these with your local SquareD/Schneider Electric Distributors and Field Offices.
