Troubleshooting HT & LT PMT Voltages | Explained by Experts

AI Thread Summary
When one phase link of a high tension (HT) power transformer (PMT) blows out, it affects the low tension (LT) side by altering the voltage levels. The loss of one phase removes phase information, resulting in the remaining secondary outputs having relative phases of 0° or 180°. Consequently, while the three secondary outputs can still provide power, two will experience reduced voltage amplitudes. This reduction occurs because the transformer is designed to operate with balanced phases, and the loss disrupts this balance. Understanding the configuration of the transformer, such as whether it is star or delta connected, is crucial for diagnosing the impact on voltage levels.

Hi Friends

What happened when one phase link of HT blowout from hv side of pmt. What happen with LT side.Thanks a lot

Did it lower voltage on secondary side on any single phase?
 
Whatever are you talking about ? I thought HT Blowout was a punk band.
 
I think we need less acronyms and more information.
You have lost one protection fuse link to the transformer HV primary.
Why might you have lost one phase? Lightning strike or transformer failure?

What happens to the secondary will depend on;

You have HV, 3 phase to the primary of a transformer.
Does it have a star with neutral at centre or is it isolated delta connected?

You have LV, 3 phase from the transformer secondary.
Is it a star with earthed neutral?

It only takes three wires to maintain 3 phases, one can be neutral.

Sorry for less information post,

well,fuse link or drop out link, lost by some reason ,
and secondary LV star with earthed neutral and primary HV isolated delta connected.

what will happen on secondary LV if PMT lost one phase of HV/PRIMARY. and other 2 are healthy in delta connected hv,

thanks
 
The loss of one of the three connections to the primary removes phase information from the transformer. The secondaries will then have relative phases of 0° or 180°.

The three secondary outputs should continue to provide power, but two will have reduced voltage amplitudes.
 
sir. Why amplitudes reduced. Little explanation please...
