Harmonic Mitigation Transformers (Delta-Zig-zag or Wye-Zig-Zag)
What are triplen harmonics?
Triplen harmonics are harmonics that are multiplies of
the number three. For example, triplen harmonics include
the 3rd, 9th, 15th, etc. harmonic. Each of these harmonics
is a multiple of three and therefore called a triplen
harmonic. Triplen harmonics will all be filtered by a zig
zag winding connection.
What does 0° phase shift and -30° phase shift mean?
The phase shiftment is the electrical angle between the
voltage (or current) at the secondary side of the transformer
with respect the primary side, at same phase. Any
deeper explanation will begin to cause drowsiness, but
here is what you need to know about phase shiftment.
GE offers two versions of harmonic mitigating and ultraefficient
harmonic mitigating transformers: 0° phase shift
and -30° phase shift.
