Method for manufacturing a multi-site spare three-phase transformer
A three phase transformer circuit is provided that includes a supply side, wherein the supply side is selectably configurable, via the use of se of terminal boards, between a delta connection and a wye connection at a time of use and, a load side, wherein the load side is selectably configurable between a delta connection and a wye connection at the time of use. The three-phase transformer also provides for selecting an input voltage, from multiple input voltages, via the sets of terminal boards, at the time of use, and for selecting an output voltage for the supply side, from multiple output voltage, at the time of use.
1. A method for manufacturing circuitry of a multi-site three-phase transformer, comprising the steps of:
dividing the circuitry into a supply side and a load side;
connecting a winding start lead from each of three sets of supply windings, individually, to a respective one of three sets of supply terminal boards for connecting the three sets of windings in one of a delta and a wye configuration;
dividing outer windings on the supply side into a top portion and a bottom portion; and
connecting supply terminal board start leads and a finish lead from each of the top portion and the bottom portion, to the respective supply terminal board for controlling a voltage output from the circuitry.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising extending tap leads from the outer windings.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising connecting each of the start leads of the top portion to a start terminal board.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising connecting a start lead and a finish lead of the inner windings to the start terminal board.
