What’s An Open Corner? - WHY is it Important? 🤔
Have you ever seen a transformer bank explode as soon as it is energized? In this video lesson we explore the importance of building and Open Corer on your Closed Delta banks. We talk about what it is, and how to use it to ensure that our transformer bank has no problems that could cause a fault.

Wye - Wye You Always Tie

In this lesson we explore the saying "Wye - Wye You Always Tie." We first vector out the connection on the board, then we build the wye wye bank on the simulator. Then we energize it and find out what happen when we float the primary neutral connection. Its a pretty eye opening lesson to see just how important it is to always follow this age old rule.

In this video we explore Additive and Subtractive transformers. We talk about where the terms come from and how to do a polarity test on a live transformer to see what polarity it is. We also discuss the qualifications on which transformer manufacturers build additive and subtractive transformers and the construction differences between them. #howto #hilineacademy #journeyman #linelife #lineman...

    I just wonder how a single phase tapped Transformer is a delta

    • @hilineacademy8482
      @hilineacademy8482 15 часов назад

      Great question. So the idea of a connection being either wye or delta really gets understood when we are building a three phase secondary. In single phase application the idea gets muddied up because we are only dealing with one single phase angle. So it’s hard to relate to a connection being wye or delta because you can’t see the shape. That being said the process for determining both the primary and secondary connection (wye or delta) is the same for single phase as it is when we’re building a bank. To determine hookups we start with three pieces of info. Circuit voltage, nameplate info, and customer needs. From these we determine both primary and secondary hookup. I hope this helped. Please let me know if I could explain it better. Stay safe. 👍

    Awsome video! Please confirm if the 8660V voltage requirement is a line-ground or line to line voltage.

    • @hilineacademy8482
      @hilineacademy8482 15 часов назад

      So the 8660 rule is in reference to the voltage that the transformer is asking for. For example Nameplate 8660/14981Y The transformer is asking for 8660 volts so the polarity would be subtractive since it meets the subtractive qualification.

    • @hilineacademy8482
      @hilineacademy8482 7 дней назад

      Thanks. So there are about three main styles of vectoring. I learned all of them and have taught all of them. The style I teach is a variation of one of them. Honestly it’s super hard to find anything on the net or even books to be able to reference which is why I started this channel. As far as the higher end of electrical theory the JATC books are pretty good. If you want to go beyond that you’re going to have to do what I did and research and ask a lot of questions. If you know any engineers that would be a good place to start. Also you can ask me anything and I’ll do my best. Stay safe. 👍

    On the wye/wye bank you only have two bushings. If there were three bushings on the secondary side would you use x3 and x1, or x3 and x2? I can’t remember what happens with x2 on the wye wye bank.

    when you install the transformer at the customer's place, does the center tap gets connected to the Grid's neutral (the one that runs along 7200V lines). In other words, is there another wire that connects the center tap and the grid's neutral?

    • @hilineacademy8482
      @hilineacademy8482 Месяц назад

      Good question. It depends on what kind of primary circuit is feeding transformer. If it’s an ungrounded wye primary circuit the primary neutral and the secondary neutral are separate. The secondary neutral is grounded since it’s feeding homes. The primary neutral is not grounded. It serves to return all of the unbalanced current on the primary circuit back to the sub. If it’s a grounded wye primary circuit usually the primary and secondary will share a neutral unless they are using it as a static. I know it’s all kind of confusing but I hope I answered your question. If not please let me know. Stay safe 👍

    • @hilineacademy8482
      @hilineacademy8482 2 месяца назад

      Great question. So the term single phase came from back when we used to supply only a 120 two wire services. Phase to neutral. That’s one theory. Another one is that we are only working with one phase angle. Either way it’s just the lingo now lol. Stay safe 👍
