Vector group of transformer

Vector group of transformer


The naming convention popularly known as Vector Group of Transformer was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) through IEC 60076-1. This was done in order to create a notation for three-phase transformer winding configuration.

Common Symbol Designation

Y or y – star winding

D or d – delta winding

N or n – neutral

0 to 12 – phase displacement in terms of clock position in multiples of 30°.
 



According to the standard, the notation should follow HV-LV-Phase displacement sequence with the HV winding in uppercase and LV winding in lowercase.
