Theory: –
Six-phase power is mainly used in high-power rectifiers, traction systems, HVDC converters and industrial drives because it gives lower ripple, less harmonics and smoother DC output.
A three phase to six phase converter is obtained by using two three-phase transformers with 300 phase displacement between their secondary voltages.
A three-phase system has R, Y, B (1200 apart).
To get 6 phases, 6 equal voltages. (600 apart).
This can be achieved by connecting two three phase transformer in parallel.
Parallel operation of three-phase transformers refers to the connection of multiple transformers in parallel to meet the load requirements of a power system. This configuration provides several benefits, including increased system capacity, improved reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Conditions for parallel operations:
- Voltage Ratio and Turns Ratio should be same.
- Vector Group should be same.
- Polarity should be same.
- Impedance should be same.
Procedure: –
- Place the three transformers side by side, ensuring proper ventilation and clear access for connections.
- Identify and verify the voltage ratings, impedance, and other parameters of each transformer for compatibility.
- Ensure that the transformers are de-energized and disconnected from the power source.
- Connect the primary windings of the transformers in parallel, ensuring proper phase connection (R-Y-B).
- Connect measuring instruments voltmeters to measure the primary and secondary voltages.
- Verify the proper functioning of the measuring instruments and ensure that they are calibrated correctly.
- Gradually apply power to the transformers from the three-phase power supply.
- Record the primary and secondary voltages as per observation table.
