why do we prefer a 3-phase delta connected load rather than
star connected?

Answer Posted / nithi

for a same power rating the current in delta connected load
is 1.732 times lesser than the star connected load (heat
loss is less) &also if one phase get opened the other two
phases will serve the load i.e.good stability.but in safety
point of view, star connected load is better than delta
load.because earthing can be done without the help of
earthing transformer.

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
