  • Publication number: 20110084790
    Abstract: A neutral-grounded structure and a method for delta-connected windings are provided. The delta-connected windings include a first phase winding, a second phase winding, and a third phase winding. A grounding winding is disposed on at least one of the phase windings. The first end of the grounding winding is connected to a grounded point which is utilized as a neutral point. The second end of the grounding winding is connected to a tap of one of the other two phase windings. The voltage phase displacement between the grounding winding and the phase winding corresponding to the grounding winding is 180 degrees. According to the above-mentioned neutral-grounded structure, all the three phase-to-ground voltages are the same when the three phase voltages are balanced. Accordingly, the present invention can solve correlated problems due to differences of the three phase-to-ground voltages of delta-connected windings with conventional grounding methods.
