Why 30phase shift occur in star-delta transformer between primary and secondary?
The phase shift is a natural consequence of the delta connection. The currents entering or leaving the star winding of the transformer are in phase with the currents in the star windings. Therefore, the currents in the delta windings are also in phase with the currents in the star windings and obviously, the three currents are 120 electrical degrees apart. But the currents entering or leaving the transformer on the delta side are formed at the point where two of the windings comprising the delta come together each of those currents is the phasor sum of the currents in the adjacent windings. When you add together two currents that are 120 electrical degrees apart, the sum is inevitably shifted by 30
degrees. The Main reason for this phenomenon is that phase voltage lags line current by 30degrees.consider a the delta/star transformer. The phase voltages in three phases of both primary and secondary. you will find that in primary the phase voltage and line voltages are same, let it be VRY(take one phase).but, the corresponding secondary will have the phase voltage only in its phase winding as it is star connected. the line voltage of star connected secondary and delta connected primary wont have any phase differences between them. so this can be summarized that the phase shift is associated with the wave forms of the three phase windings.
