PLECS Ddy Transformer

Hi,
PLECS library browser we have only Ydy and Ydz transformers, Is it possible to add a Ddy transformer in the library? I get one simulation with a Ddy transformer and want to add to library is it possible?

Is it possible to add a Ddy transformer in the library?

You can add your own custom libraries to PLECS. See the Using PLECS + Libraries section of the PLECS documentation. There also is the Component Libraries tutorial. The Model Reference block is also another useful alternative to a true “Library” component.

I get one simulation with a Ddy transformer and want to add to library is it possible?

It’s not clear, but perhaps you are suggesting that the Ddy model be included in the Standard PLECS library? That’s a good suggestion. You are welcome to send your model file.

Ok, I’ll try the tutorial. I have to say that the model isn’t mine. I found it here on the PLECS forum, and it looks like it works quite well for a project I’m working on. Here’s the link: How to build a DyDd0 three winding transformer like this?. I was just wondering because it could be interesting to explore a configuration other than YdY or YdZ.

Thank You.

A more refined model for a Ddy transformer is available in this implementation. In addition to the improved functionality, the symbols on the secondary and tertiary sides automatically rotate according to the selected phase angle.

I was just wondering because it could be interesting to explore a configuration other than YdY or YdZ.

What other configurations do you have in mind? Which configurations do you consider most important for your application?

Thank you.

I’m currently working on three-phase rectifiers (12-pulse, 18-pulse, and possibly exploring 24-pulse in the future). For that reason, I’m testing different transformer configurations. So far I’ve been using YdY and YdZ, but now I’m also planning to work with DdY and DdZ as well.

Thank you for sharing the details of your work. We will consider creating a model for the Ddz configuration and plan to add both Ddy and Ddz variants to the library.
