    Single Phasing: Delta Wound

    Uploaded by

    Anjaana Prashant
    Single phasing occurs when one phase of a three-phase power supply is lost. This causes overheating and overload in the motor windings. Cartridge fuses are recommended over rewireable fuses to provide protection against single phasing, as cartridge fuses can withstand overloads without degradation. Additional single phasing protection devices may be needed if overload protection is set too high or with excessive time delay, as the motor could continue running in an overloaded state.

    Single phasing

    Delta wound

    Winding 'B' will receive full voltage, winding 'C' and 'A' are in series

    If the motor is running when the circuit is opened it will be seen that at
    100% load the current in 'B' becomes almost three times full load, the current in
    'C.A' becomes about 30% overload and the line current becomes about 2 Н times full
    load.

    At these conditions the overload protective device operate

    But at 75% load, Current in 'B' is 180%, current in 'C.A.' is at 80%, and
    the line current is 145%. If the overload protection devices are set at 50% overload
    then they will fail to operate and the motor will continue to run. Under these
    conditions tha copper losses also increase causing additional heating.

    Protection against single phasing.


    The commonest cause of single phasing is the blowing of a fuse in the supply circuit.
    For this reason it is recommended that cartridge and not rewireable fuses are used.
    Cartridge fuses can be overloaded to near fusing point with out degradation. Also
    variations between fusing points on each fuse is small.
    It is good practice that if one fuse blows then all three should be changed. Any fuse
    which is intact should be transferred to a lighting circuit where its performance is not
    vital.
    No volt releases will not provide protection in these circumstances. Should the open
    circuit be on the motor side of the starter due to a broken connection the no volt coil
    will continue to be fed from the supply. If the open circuit occurs on the supply side
    the coil will be supplied by the voltage induced in the motor.

    Star wound

    Overheating can also occur with a star connected machine on single


    phase, but in this case the line current is the same as the windings and so there is a
    better chance that the protection devices will operate. In both star and delta
    connected motors, they will not start in the single phase condition, they will remain
    stalled and subjected to large currents if the protection devices are set to high or
    with an excessive time delay. Running indication may be connected across a healthy
    phase giving an incorrect indication. Therefore overload setting of 125% F.L. with
    suitable time lag to allow starting is recommeded.
    If this is not practical, then some form of single phase protection is required. One
    such device is shown below.
    Under overload conditions- all bi-metal strips heated equally by coils
    and deflect moving top bar sufficiently to operate a trip mechanism.

    Under single phase conditions- two strips deflect. No deflection in the


    other strip. The top and bottom bars are hinged and move together. If forced apart
    the trip mechanism operates.

    Another simple method, where it can be conveniently arranged, is to


    connect the overload coils in the delta circuit in series with the windings. This is
    possible in the case of star-delta starters. In systems with an earthed neutral, then
    single phasing will occur if a fuse blows due to a fault to earth in one line. It may
    also result from a defective contact in a switch or starter and proper maintenance is
    therefore most important.

    Motor connection

    A motor designed to be delta connected must not be connected in start otherwise the
    heating effect in the windings will be three times design but the line current would be
    normal and therefore protection devices would not operate.
