Sequence Circuits of Three Phase Transformers

Objectives:
To learn about zero-sequence current flow in three phase transformer topologies.

Lab Tasks:

1. Simulate the circuit shown in MATLAB / Simulink.

2. Build the three phase transformer using individual single phase transformers (with 1:1
ratio) with neutral resistance of 0.1 . For transformer parameters, use SI units with R =
0.1 and L = 1 mH.
3. Use different topologies of three phase transformer for the given circuit and find out
about zero sequence current flow.

Case 1: YY transformer; both sides grounded

1. Determine zero sequence current entering and leaving the transformer using zero
sequence measurement blocks.

2. Determine zero sequence impedance of this transformer. To do this, measure zero
sequence voltages on both sides of the transformer.

V(0)primary = Vp(0) = 49.42/-36.65 o V V(0)secondary = Vs(0) = 25.92/-55.89 o V
