A tertiary or stabilising winding on a three-phase transformer is provided to

  • A.increase the total output rating of the transformer
  • B.reduce the leakage reactance between the main windings
  • C.provide the excitation the core requires at no load
  • D.give a path for triple harmonic and unbalance currents

Answer: D

Correct answer: give a path for triple harmonic and unbalance currents

A closed delta tertiary lets triple harmonic magnetising currents circulate within it rather than distorting the flux, and it also provides a path for zero sequence current under unbalanced loading, so the neutral is stabilised. It is often used to supply station auxiliaries as well, but that is a convenience rather than its purpose.
