3 phase distribution transformer question
I have been offered a three phase 15kVA, 11kV, 240/415 volt
distribution transformer - free if picked up.
What would happen if this unit was run on single phase 240V? Apart
from derating the output voltage by sqrt(3), can a three phase core
cope without all of the separate magnetising currents?
I would appreciate any information or hearing about the experiences
that others have had with single phase operation of three phase
transformers.
Safe coiling,
Gavin Hubbard
P.S. Mark - this transformer is intended for you ;-) Needs to be
picked up from the Waikato region though (Hamilton?)
