Transformer Configuration
The illustration shows how an open delta transformer is
connected. On both the primary and secondary there are only
two windings. Even in this configuration, it is still possible to
transform a three phase voltage.
Power Delivered
Sometimes the power delivered by an open delta transformer is
compared to that of an equivalent three winding transformer.
Typically figures like having 57.7% of the capacity of an
equivalent three winding transformer or 87% of two transformers
(same winding size) are quoted. While you can think of the
transformer in this manner, it is more fruitful not to consider
comparisons but to the necessary calculations on the open delta
transformer.
