They all have delta primaries and star secondaries, possibly earthed. The number is the angle of the secondary voltage's lag behind the primary's, expressed as an hour on a clock-face.
11 --> Secondary leads primary by 30 degrees
1 --> Secondary lags primary by 30 degrees
5 --> Secondary lags primary by 150 degrees, making the red secondary voltage lag the yellow primary by 30 degrees (using UK Red/Yellow/Blue phases)
Dyn11 and Dyn1 are much more common than DYn5

Yes, you can replace a DY11 transformer with a DYN11 transformer, but it is important to consider the differences in their winding configurations and phase shifts. The DY11 transformer has a wye (star) connection on the primary side and a delta connection on the secondary side, while the DYN11 transformer has a delta connection on the primary side and a wye connection on the secondary. This change in configuration may affect voltage levels and phase relationships in your system, so it's essential to ensure compatibility with existing equipment and load requirements. Always consult with an electrical engineer before making such a replacement.
This vector group test is done to confirm whether the vector group provided in the name plate is correct or not and also to confirm that the winding has not been damaged during transport, installation and erection. Taking a particular example, for Dyn11 transformer we have to apply 3~ 400v to the primary, with primary 'U' & secondary 'u' shorted.... then check the voltage across different terminals such as V-v, V-w, W-w, W-v for Dyn11 configuration (V-v = V-w = W-w)less than W-v.... you can compare the results after drawing the vector diagram for the same...... the purpose of shorting the primary U & secondary u is to nullify the phase shift, to obtain a reference vector...
The phase shift is caused by inductance in the transformer. Any inductance from magnetic flux that fails to link both windings is called leakage flux, and the resulting inductance is called leakage inductance.
connect the neutral point of the star (secondary) to u phase of primary, and now apply voltage to primary and measure the voltage between V&R, W&B, V&Y and V&B. when you measure voltage b/w 1. V&R the voltage must be maximum, 2. W&B Should be minimum and 3. voltage between V&Y and V&B should be same U.V&W are primary (Delta) R,Y&B are secondary (Star)
you keep the hv & lv on the dyn11 tx straight in phasing. you then put a cross on any two phases on the hv side of the dyn1 tx, and do the same cross with the phases on the lv side of the tx. for instance lets say we cross a & c phases on the hv & lv sides of the dyn1 tx. now draw a diagram with the four tx, split them up, 2 x dyn1, 2 x dyn11. now on the diagram where you have dyn1 tx, change the the phase plates to read cba left to right, also change the lv side to match. leave the phase plates on the dyn11 tx alone to read abc left to right on both sides. now draw the cables going between them on the hv & lv sides. now if a phase always goes to a phase and b & c phases do the same it will all tie in. prove it to yourself and follow a phase threw all the tx's, do the same will b & c phases. I do it all the time at my job, works every time.
