Why we should use delta connection in primary and star
connection in an distribution transformer, which converts
400v a.c. voltage to 33kv.

Answer Posted / swayanjit

WE USE DELTA CONNECTION AT PRIMARY AND STAR CONNECTION AT
SECONDARY IN CASE IF STEP UP OF VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT BECAUSE
IN DELTA/STAR TRANSFORMER THE OUT PUT VOLTAGE WILL BE 1.413
TIMES HIGHER THAN THE PHASE VOLTAGE EVEN WHEN BOTH HAVING
SAME NUMBER OF TURN. SO THE SECONDARY WILL REQUIRE LESS
INSULATION.

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE
