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\sqrt{3}=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).
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
