Homework Statement


Three single phase transformers rated 100kVA, 13.2kV/2.4KV are connected in wye-delta on a 3-phase, 18kV line.

I need to find the maximum load that can be connected to the transformer bank and the outgoing line voltage.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I am completely stuck, so far I've got:
Voltage across primary is 2.4kV therefore voltage across secondary is 13.2kV
Es=13.2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]=22.86kV?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This can't be right can it? Do you have a 2.4KV transformer connected to an 18KV line?
 
I'm not 100% sure if that's what the question is implying as I'm completely stuck on it.
Thanks for the quick reply though.
 
Well, I don't know how 3 phase transformers are voltage rated, as I haven't studied them. However, if the voltage of a Delta is measured from phase to phase and voltage of a Wye is measured neutral to any phase, then you don't use the factor of sqrt(3).
