1. Polarity
The primary and secondary
windings on the core are in same phase If the windings of the Transformer have same direction then voltage induced in both the coils are in same polarity(Additive polarity). If two coils have opposite winding direction then Voltage induced in both coil are in opposite direction.
interconnected star connection. This connection has some of the features of the Y and the connections, combining the advantages of both. Represented with symbol Z in vector group
3. Vector group
Vector Groups are method of categorizing the primary
and secondary winding configurations of 3-phase transformers and the phase relation between primary and secondary. In vector group primary winding connection should be shown in capital letter Followed by next high voltage winding connection in small letters Followed by phase relation of secondary w.r.t primary winding in clock notation
with primary winding and so on. Ex : YNd11 For Auto Transformers connection symbol should followed by symbol a0 Ex : YNa0 Clock notation of phase shift 1. Digit 0 =0 that the LV phasor is in phase with the HV phasor 2. Digit 1 =30 lagging (LV lags HV with 30) because rotation is anti-clockwise. 3. Digit 6 = 180 lagging (LV lags HV with 180)
4. Digit 5 = 150 lagging (LV lags HV with 150) 5. Digit 11 = 330 lagging or 30 leading (LV leads HV with 30) Examples: 1.Dy11 2.YNd11d11 3.YNa0d11 4.Yyn0 5.Dz0

very important before connecting two or more transformers in parallel. If two transformers of different vector groups are connected in parallel then phase difference exists between the secondary of the transformers and large circulating current flows between the two transformers.
