What problems may result if the taps are not connected properly on a three-phase transformer or bank of transformers?

What will be an ideal response?


The following problems may result if the taps are not connected properly:
• The output voltage on each of the three secondary voltages is not the same. This produces high unbalanced currents that causes overheating of induction motors.
• An undesirable circulating current creates a “false load ” condition if the transformer is connected delta-delta.
