What Does It Mean By Dny11 in Transformer?

We often see transformers in our way almost every day, everywhere. We all might have noticed that there is something written in the transformer like Dny11. But we don't know what does it mean? We can guess that the numbers on the transformer windings show the turns ratio between windings. But by reading this article we might confirm this guess. 


The first letter D shows that the primary winding configuration is in delta connection. The second small letter n shows that it has the neutral point and the small y shows that it is star connected. Letter 11 shows the phase difference between the primary and secondary connection according to clock configuration. When the clock hands are between 11 and 12 the angle between them is 30 degrees.

So, Dny11 means 

D- Primary winding in delta connection

ny-Secondary winding in star connection with a neutral point

11- There is a phase angle difference of 30 degrees between the primary and secondary line voltages. The secondary line voltage lags by 30 degrees to the primary voltage. Now we know the meaning of each letter.

So in short Dny11 written in a transformer means that has a delta connected primary winding a star connected secondary with the star point brought out and a phase shift of a 30 degree leading 11. It is a 3 phase transformer whose primary side is delta connected and the secondary side is star connected. Here Dny11 is the vector group and the primary side is leading the other side which is the secondary side by a 30-degree angle. This type of power transformer is mainly used in 33/11 kV substations for strengthening the distribution system. Dny11 transformer is widely used in distribution because in the transmission in the power, at some points voltage is stepped up and at some times voltage is stepped down. So to make the system highly efficient, delta winding is used at the l.v side while the star is used.

By this time we have noticed that it is not DNY11 but Dny11. The overall summary is, capital D means the primary side of the transformer is delta connected. Small ny means the secondary side is connected with y with neutral brought out. 11 represents phase shift, which corresponds to 11h in a round clock, a phase is a 30-degree angle which means 330 degrees.

What is mAh Mean in a Battery

 We all use batteries, right? But how many of us know how the battery actually works? We don't have to know about the complicated terms of chemistry formula but basic things like mah are worth learning about. mah is a basic topic of battery. It explains the capacity, the time, we can use a battery from mah. I will try to explain easily about mah. So let's get started. The capacity of batteries is indicated as mah. Mah capacity rating explains the storage capacity available for a particular battery. An ampere-hour is a unit of electric charge. Normal batteries, such as those in mobile phones and digital cameras, are often rated in milliampere-hours. The milliampere-hour is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour and is a technical term for how much electrical charge a particular battery will hold. As an example, using higher mah batteries in a device with constant electrical consumption will theoretically give longer operating times. A battery with a capacity rating of 1000 mah could d...

How does Transistor Work

 The transistor is a semiconductor device for amplifying, controlling, and generating electrical signals. Transistors are the active components of integrated circuits that containing billions of minuscule devices etched into the surface. It is used as an amplifier or switches electronic signals and electrical power. Transistors are one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics. the word transistor is made of the two words, transfer and resistance. This is because it has the function of transferring the resistance from one end of the device to the other end or we can say, transfer of resistance. Transistors have very high input resistance and very low output resistance.  It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. It works when the holes start moving across the two junctions between the n-type and p-type silicon. When turning a small input current into a large output current, the transistor acts ...
