Three phase alternators are connected in star connection
why?
Answer Posted / manish kumar
in a star connection, phase voltage Vph = VL/ (3)^1/2.
1--Since the induced emf in the primary winding of an alternator is directly proportional to the number of turns, a star connected alternator will require less number of turns than a delta connected alternator for the same voltage.
2-- it also requires less insulation bcz its phase is less.
3-- it also help to reduce third harmonic ...

Dear sir, In our plant have Station Transformer having capacity,i want to know, why LV side 40 - 40MVA is given? & how we can get 6.3 KV supply from tertiary(i.e. Open delta connection), Vector Group YNyn0 - yn0 +d MVA Rating 80MVA / 40 - 40MVA + 26.7MVA Voltage rating 420 (Tap range +6,to -10)81.25% /11.5KV - 11.5KV +6.3KV
