Open Delta & Broken Delta

Configuration

What is Open delta:

Two single phase voltage transformer uses in this configuration.
The transformer’s one end is connected with the another end of
the transformer creates series connection with two transformer
and primary is connected in star connection. The secondary output
voltage of the open delta configuration is equal to 1/root (3) of that
delta configuration. That’s why, The open delta will only deliver
57.7% of the power of a conventional transformer.

Broken Delta configuration:

Three number of potential transformers are connected in delta
connection and the one end of the delta connection will be in open
condition. It protects the winding against earth faults & used to
find out the vector sum of the phase voltages. Under balanced
condition, the vector sum of the output voltage is equal to zero.
Mostly, this kind of configuration is used in Natural displacement
relays to protect the delta winding against earth faults.
