Scott Connected Transformers

Heavy-Duty 3-Phase to 2-Phase Power & Voltage Conversion Systems up to 10 MVA & 33kV Class

Industrial Scott Connected Transformer by Sahara Transformers

Engineering Compliance Guarantee

Every Scott Connected Transformer manufactured by Sahara Transformers undergoes 100% factory acceptance testing (FAT) per IEC 60076 and IS 2026 international standards prior to dispatch.

Precision 3-Phase to 2-Phase Power Balance Solutions

Sahara Transformers designs and manufactures custom **Scott Connected Transformers** (also known as Scott-T connection transformers) specialized for converting three-phase alternating power into balanced two-phase power, or vice versa. Operating with high magnetic symmetry and optimized vector coupling, our Scott transformers prevent phase voltage unbalance on upstream 3-phase utility grids while powering heavy single-phase or two-phase industrial equipment.

Power Capacity Range Up to 10 MVA
Voltage Rating (Primary) Up to 33 kV Class
Cooling Method ONAN / ONAF / Dry Type
Winding Material 99.9% Electrolytic Copper
Operational Frequency 50 Hz / 60 Hz
International Standards IEC 60076, IS 2026, ANSI, BS

Key Engineering Advantages

  • Perfect Phase Balance: Draws symmetrical active power from all three supply phases when equal 2-phase loads are connected, protecting main grid switchgear.
  • High Dynamic Short-Circuit Strength: Robust mechanical clamping and low-loss CRGO silicon steel core construction to endure severe industrial duty cycles.
  • Custom Tap Changer Configurations: Equipped with Off-Load Tap Changers (OCTC) or On-Load Tap Changers (OLTC) for fine voltage adjustment under load variations.
  • Thermally Enhanced Insulation: High dielectric strength Class A, F, or H insulation systems designed to withstand elevated temperatures and severe electrical stresses.

How Scott-T Transformers Achieve Phase Balance

The Scott Connection utilizes two single-phase transformers—the **Main Transformer** and the **Teaser Transformer**—interconnected magnetically and electrically to transform 3-phase voltages into two 90° phase-displaced 2-phase outputs.

1

Main Transformer Coil

Connected directly across two phases of the 3-phase supply (e.g., lines B and C) with a center-tapped primary winding at 50% ratio.

2

Teaser Transformer Coil

Connected between the third phase line (line A) and the 50% center tap of the Main transformer, operating at 86.6% (√3/2) of the primary turns ratio.

3

Balanced 2-Phase Output

Produces two equal output voltages with a precise 90-degree phase difference, distributing heavy load current evenly across all 3 input phases.
