Homework Statement


I think two diagrams are wrong here. I've marked in red.[/B]
Grid of eight rows of transformer connection diagrams, each showing star and delta winding configurations beside a switch-contact schematic with terminals a, b, a1 and b1; two switch contacts are circled in red with annotations.


Homework Equations


Do you also think the 2 diagrams are wrong? I think for 1st red circle, at delta-- the a1 switch should be open
whereas for second red circle at star grounded-- the a1 switch should be closed.

The Attempt at a Solution


I found this in book and am not sure if book is right or wrong.

First of all, this should be titled as zero sequence diagrams for a transformer.

You are correct for diagrams #5 and #6. One way to determine this is to examine what you get when you perform a short circuit test with zero sequence voltage applied.

I don't know this method. I just remembered the formula. If there is ground in star the connect series switch. If there is delta then connect shunt switch.
