A manufacturing company has privately contracted your company to rewire the mechanical workshop in the building. During a site visit, you observed that the building receives a 400V, 60HZ, star-connected, three-phase supply from the utility. There are also several three-phase equipment in the workshop including bench lathes, drill presses and welding machines that require a 230V three-phase supply. You have decided to utilize three single-phase, dry type transformers to step down the building's incoming supply to a 230V, delta-connected supply for the equipment. All the three-phase machinery can be modelled as an equivalent balanced three-phase star- connected load with a resistance and inductance of 0.52 and 0.16mH respectively per phase. Some preliminary calculations and analysis are required before starting the wiring design. a) Draw a labelled diagram of the entire three phase system clearly showing all known voltages (phase and line values) and the three phase configurations of all components.

The nameplate on a 25-MVA, 60-Hz single-phase transformer indicates that it has a voltage rating of 8.0-kV:78-kV. A short-circuit test from the high-voltage side (low-voltage winding shortcircuited) gives readings of 4.53 kV, 321 A, and 77.5 kW. An open-circuit test is conducted fromthe low-voltage side and the corresponding instrument readings are 8.0 kV, 39.6 A, and 86.2 kW.
