This means that circuits created or edited in version 4.0 containing the general saturable 3-phase transformer component can not be read by earlier ATPDraw versions. The new SATTRAFO component supports all possible phase shifts i Delta and Wye couplings as well as Autotransformers and zig-zag couplings with phase shifts in the range <-60, 0> and <0, 60> degrees. The component dialog box of this transformer is shown in Fig. 1. With the button 3-leg core unchecked the model is a saturable transformer with low homo polar reluctance. Checking the 3-leg core button, turns the transformer into a TRANSFORMER THREE PHASE type with high homopolar reluctance, specified in the appearing R0-field. Checking the RMS button, enables specification of the saturation characteristic in RMS values for current and voltage on the Characteristic page. A conversion to fluxcurrent values is performed internally in ATPDraw. If the button is not checked normal flux-current values should be entered. Four types of winding couplings are supported; Wye (Y), Delta (D), Auto (A), Zigzag (Z). The possible phase shifts (in degrees) can be selected from the combo boxes or in the case of a zigzag coupling be specified in an edit field. The tertiary winding can be turned on or of by checking the 3winding button.
Fig. 1 General saturable transformer dialog. For an Auto-transformer the Primary winding must be of type A and the Primary winding is always connected in series with the Secondary. Some logic forces the Secondary to A with the Primary. If the
Teritiary also is of type A it is connected in parellel with the Secondary with a common neutral point (this is a rather unusual configuration, however). The user must manually perform recalculation of the testreport data to obtain the voltage, resistance, and inductance values for Auto-transformers (ref BCTRAN). For a zigzag transformer the Z winding is split in two parts (z and y) and the voltage, resistance and inductance for each part is automatically calculated by ATPDraw. Let U, R and L be the specified voltage, resistance and inductance in fig. 1 respectively. Let a be the specified phase-shift angle. Then the turn ratio becomes n=sin(a)/sin(60-a). The voltages are: Uz=U/(cos(a)+n*cos(60-a)) Uy=Uz*n (as the winding voltage is proportional to the number of turns) The resistances are: Rz=R/(1+n) Ry=R*n (as the winding resistance is proportional to the number of turns) and the inductances are: Lz=L/(1+n*n) Ly=Lz*n*n (as the leakage inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns) No calculation is performed for the magetizing branch or for the zero-sequence reluctance. The SATTRAFO data in fig. 1 will result in the following ATP file, where the Z winding is split in two windings 1-2. An internal node T0002 is introduced between the two winding parts. The 3-phase node T1 is where the magnetizing branch is connected.
