Making a 3-Phase Transformer with 2 Single-Phase Transformers

AI Thread Summary
A three-phase transformer can be constructed using two single-phase transformers through a "High Leg Open Delta" configuration. While three transformers are typically used for a complete three-phase system, the discussion highlights the feasibility of achieving three-phase output with just two. Additionally, a Scott-T configuration is mentioned as a method to create three-phase power from two-phase sources, emphasizing the need for true 90-degree phase separation rather than split-phase systems. The conversation underscores the versatility of transformer configurations in electrical engineering. Understanding these methods can enhance transformer application in various electrical systems.

Well we can make a three-phase transformer using THREE single-phase transformers, but is it possible to make one, using only TWO single-phase transformers?

Nice. Thank you.
 
A Scott-T configuration will make 3 phase out of 2 phase. By 2 phase I mean actual real 90 degree out of phase 2 phase and NOT split phase.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

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

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...
