Description

The Zigzag-Delta-Wye Transformer block models a linear, nonideal transformer with a three-limb core that has primary zigzag windings and secondary delta, wye, or delta and wye windings. You can specify the phase offset between the zigzag and wye windings using the Wye secondary phase shift parameter and parameterize the block impedance using per-unit values. The block includes effects for linear winding leakage and linear core magnetization.

The configuration options for the delta winding types are:

  • Delta 1 o'clock — Mesh configuration with a lagging 30-degree phase shift relative to the voltage of a connected wye configuration

  • Delta 11 o'clock — Mesh configuration with leading 30-degree phase shift relative to the voltage of a connected wye configuration

These equivalent circuit diagrams show the zigzag-delta-wye transformer in the delta 1 o'clock and delta 11 o'clock configurations, respectively.

In these diagrams:

  • Rw1 is the primary winding resistance.

  • Ll1 is the primary leakage reactance.

  • Rw2 is the delta secondary winding resistance.

  • Ll2 is the delta secondary leakage reactance.

  • Rw3 is the wye secondary winding resistance.

  • Ll3 is the wye secondary leakage reactance.

  • Rm is the shunt magnetizing resistance.

  • Lm is the shunt magnetizing reactance.

Whether to model composite or expanded three-phase ports.

Composite three-phase ports represent three individual electrical conserving ports with a single block port. You can use composite three-phase ports to build models that correspond to single-line diagrams of three-phase electrical systems.

Expanded three-phase ports represent the individual phases of a three-phase system using three separate electrical conserving ports.
