Concept:
- The Scott-T Connection is the method of connecting two single-phase transformers to perform the 3-phase to 2-phase conversion and vice-versa.
- Scott connection of transformer is also known as T – T connection.
- The two transformers are connected electrically but not magnetically.
- One of the transformers is called the main transformer, and the other is called the auxiliary or teaser transformer.
- The main transformer is centre-tapped at D and is connected to line B and C of the 3-phase side. It has primary BC and secondary a1a2.
- The teaser transformer is connected to the line terminal A and the centre tapping D. It has primary AD and the secondary b1b2.
- The identical, interchangeable transformers are used for Scott-T connection in which each transformer has a primary winding of Tp turns and is provided with tapping at 0.289 Tp, 0.5 Tp and 0.866 Tp.
- The teaser transformer has the primary voltage rating that is √3/2 or 0.866 of the voltage ratings of the main transformer.
- So that in T-T connection, the percentage tapping of main transformer and teaser transformer respectively are 50% and 86.6%
Application:
- The Scott-T connection is used in an electric furnace installation where it is desired to operate two single-phase together and draw the balanced load from the three-phase supply.
- It is used to supply the single phase loads such as electric train which are so scheduled as to keep the load on the three phase system as nearly as possible.
- The Scott-T connection is used to link a 3-phase system with a two–phase system with the flow of power in either direction.
Note:
- The Scott-T connection permits conversions of a 3-phase system to a two-phase system and vice versa. But since 2-phase generators are not available, the converters from two phases to three phases are not used in practice.
