You should have seen the look on his face - he was terrified of me and took off real quick like, getting into the car with the rest of his homies. Whatever he told 'em must have had the same effect c'os they were GONE, and I mean GONE, screeching tires and all!!!!

  • @Shitmusket
    @Shitmusket 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Actually the high voltage side is usually in a delta configuration and the low voltage side is in star configuration. The delta configuration allows us to transport power without the use of a neutral, saves some money. And the star configuration is needed for a ground reference, otherwise the consumers do not have a voltage potential difference.

Concept of leading and lagging, cos(phi)? Cubic root of three? Frequency? There are so many theoretical things you cannot experience.
      Try to experience invisible things, you cannot touch. Magnetic fields. Just to mention a few things.

    Very informative. Confirmed my theory as to how transformers work. I had a theory because I couldn't find this information anywhere else, so had to come up with ideas. But I didn't take too much time analyzing the circuits of the three-phase transformer configuration to understand how it works. I've been up all day, and only planned on learning the one thing, and prepared my brain for such, no more. lol I'll come back eventually.

    we must also describe 2 things: the number of windings affects voltage (more secondary windings that primary results in a bigger voltage), while the resistance of the wire affects currents (lower the resistance, higher the current). thats why transformers can be used to lower/higher both voltage and current at the same time.
    (at 1:50, if you have enough patience to calculate the windings on the secondary and primary, you will realize the secondary has more turns, resulting in a higher current.)

    Dear Sir, I think you are wrong mention, HV should be Delta connection, and LV should be in star connection- from this star point, we can get phase to Neutral....Please correct me if I,m wrong...

      The normal way of connecting a distribution transformer, to make the LV-side in a star connection.

    • @eduardoalbanez2052
      @eduardoalbanez2052 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Power transformers usually have the HV winding star-connected, due to the voltage on the winding is sqrt(3) times lower than the line to line voltage, making the insulation more economical. And although the current in sqrt(3) times higher in a star connected winding compare to a delta connected winding, it helps to make it stronger and overcome high electro-mechanical stresses due to fault currents or inrush currents.
      For distribution transformers the insulation is not that expensive, then the delta is generally used in HV winding to avoid the circulation of zero sequence harmonics to the grid, and the star is employed in the LV winding to allow the connection of 1 phase loads, for example: to 120V (line to neutral) or 208V (line to line).

      You should do some experiments on your own, like build a fly back coil set up to power a Jacobs ladder. There's a lot to know to be sure, but it's not hard to learn once you apply yourself.

    • @ckarmakun516
      @ckarmakun516 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Voltage is a force and that force carries current. When the force is high some current loses it track and will eventually destroy the system. Thus a neutral wire is connected so that the loss current will not destroy the system

    • @johnarmenta2199
      @johnarmenta2199 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought the same thing. Then I read Henry Hooker's post. Yes, this would be a GSU. Don't make the mistake this engineer made when I called for the incorrect high-side and low-side windings. Yes, it works, but the generator is 60 degrees out of phase with the rest of the world. So, the entire plant uses secondary electrical power that is 60 degrees out of phase, and it cannot be backed-up or loop-fed from the distribution unless there is a "drop and pick" switching procedure. I'll never make that mistake again!!
