What is the meaning of DYN 11 on a transformer nameplate?

Answer 1

What does Dd0, Dyn11, YNd5 etc. mean?

First symbol/symbols, capital letters: HV winding connection.

Second symbol/symbols, small letters: LV winding connection.

Third symbol, number: Phase displacement expressed as the clock hour number.

Winding connection designations

High Voltage Always capital letters

Delta - D

Star - S

Interconnected star - Z

Neutral brought out - N

Low voltage Always small letters

Delta - d

Star - s

Interconnected star - z

Neutral brought out - n

Phase displacement

Phase rotation is always anti-clockwise. (international adopted convention)

Use the hour indicator as the indicating phase displacement angle. Because there are 12 hours on a clock, and a circle consists out of 360°, each hour represents 30°.

Thus 1 = 30°, 2 = 60°, 3 = 90°, 6 = 180° and 12 = 0° or 360°.

The minute hand is set on 12 o'clock and replaces the line to neutral voltage (sometimes imaginary) of the HV winding. This position is always the reference point.

Because rotation is anti-clockwise, 1 = 30° lagging (LV lags HV with 30°)and 11 = 330° lagging or 30° leading (LV leads HV with 30°)

To summarise:

Dd0

Delta connected HV winding, delta connected LV winding, no phase shift between HV and LV.

Dyn11

Delta connected HV winding, star connected LV winding with neutral brought out, LV is leading HV with 30°

YNd5

Star connected HV winding with neutral brought out, delta connected LV winding, LV lags HV with 150°
