Delta Transformers

AI Thread Summary

Two hot phases in Delta transformers can coexist without causing failure due to the design that allows for balanced load distribution and phase separation. The transformer operates by utilizing the magnetic properties of the core, which helps manage the phase relationships effectively. Engineers emphasize the importance of understanding the distinction between phases and legs in transformer design. Properly configured, the transformer can handle the electrical load without overheating or blowing up. A detailed explanation of the transformer’s operation and phase interactions clarifies this common misconception.

How is that two hot phases can be put into a transformers and it not blow up? i have asked this question many different times to different engineers at work and I'm tired of hearing "just because". please explain in detail

I suspect you are confusing what is commonly referred to as legs with phases. Or maybe not, in which case you could elaborate?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
