Introduction
In the current stage of electrical power systems development, transformers and autotransformers with three windings have gained wide spread use. This requires accurate knowledge of their parameters, and deep understanding of the various operating modes of the power system as well [1 - 4].
1. Equivalent scheme
Transformers are passive elements of electric networks and are represented by equivalent schemes with concentrated and constant parameters. (fig. 1. a, b).
Equivalent schemes described below are recommended [2,4] due to the fact that the calculation of the node stores the actual voltage due to the complex processing operators N12, N13.
When calculating the equivalent diagram elements require some necessary tests to determine the parameters of transformers and autotransformers with three windings.

2. Three-winding transformer tests
These tests are described in literature
such as:
■ empty test
Transformers with three windings, the empty test is performed as transformers with two windings and consists of primary winding nominal supply voltage Un1, determining the sizes:
io - current nominal idling percentage (relative to voltage Un1 primary winding and Sn1 nominal apparent power source);
APo - active power losses at nominal load (relative to the primary winding voltage Un1 and Sn1 nominal apparent power source).
This sample measurement schemes are consistent technical rules in force, depending on the number of phases of transformers and are unitary power transformer manufacturers. The relations are associated calculation unit sizes and APo him.
■ Short-circuit(s) test
These samples can be achieved in two ways:
a) pairs of windings, third winding being empty;
b) simultaneous charging of three windings without exceeding their nominal charge.
Short variants of questionable evidence in the following ways:
- The value of testing costs;
- Duration of the tests;
- Accuracy in calculating transformer parameters using experimental data of test results for short.
The variant is preferred by most manufacturers a) pairs of windings for reasons of greater precision in determining the longitudinal parameters of transformer windings three.
When this preference is a need to make three different short samples [5 to 10].
Admittedly, three-phase transformer windings are noted by (i, j, k) as follows:
• 1 - primary winding (high voltage) with a rated voltage Un1 apparent power Sn1;
• 2 - the secondary coil (MV), rated voltage Un2 apparent power Sn2;
• 3 - tertiary winding (low voltage), nominal voltage Un3 and apparent power Sn3.
The sample circuit denoted by 1-2 proceed as follows: bypasses winding 1 (3 remaining empty winding) and apply a voltage called short circuit voltage defined by the expression usc, Usc 1-2 = usc 1-2 / (100-Un 1) at the terminals of the winding 1, so that the intensity of the current in the windings 1 and 2 (the short-circuit) does not exceed its nominal value.
Similarly proceed and short samples 1-3 and 2-3 to which the short-circuit voltage Usc 1-3 and Usc 2-3 as defined in the test circuit 1-2.
The three-phase system, they can cause either between phases or between phase and neutral winding system.
i. Short-circuit on windings pairs test - a)
Making a short sample - pair of coils - is determined:
usc i_2 - Percentage of short circuit rated voltage windings pair 1-2, in%;
usc 1-3 - Percentage of short circuit rated voltage windings pair 1-3, in%;
usc 1-3 - Percentage of short circuit rated voltage windings pair 2-3, in%;
APsc 1-2 - short nominal losses for the pair of coils 1-2, in W.
APsc 1-3 - short nominal losses for the pair of coils 1-2, in W.
APsc 2-3 - short nominal losses for the pair of coils 2-3, in W.
The experimental values listed and defined above relate to the rated voltage of winding 1, Un1 and the nominal apparent power of the winding 1
Sn1.
After this sequence of values such reports can be obtained catalog sizes that can be used to calculate the transformer with three windings parameters:
u'sc i_2 - rated voltage short circuit percentage (relative) per pair of coils 1-2, in%;
u'sc 1-3 - nominal voltage short circuit percentage (relative) per pair of coils 1-3, in%;
u'sc 2-3 - rated voltage short circuit percentage (relative) per pair of coils 2-3, in%;
AP'sc 1-2 - rated short-circuit losses (reported) on the pair of coils 1-2, in W.
AP'sc 3-1 - nominal short-circuit losses (reported) on the pair of coils 1-3, in W.
AP'sc 2-3 - short nominal losses (reported) on the pair of coils 2-3, in W.
It points out that it is strictly necessary to unify these parameters by reference to which depends on the ratio of windings apparent power proved both impedance voltage and short-circuit active losses. In addition impedance voltage depends on the ratio of nominal voltage windings are shorted
ii. Short-circuit test with simultaneous windings loading - b)
This option is rarely used, as required explicitly by the beneficiary of the three windings transformer; these maximum active power losses are measured.
It stresses that the short-circuit voltage of the three winding transformer is given only to the first variant testing and recorded in order of decreasing the rated value of voltages:
- windings 1-2: high voltage - medium voltage;
- windings 1-3: high voltage - low voltage;
- windings 2-3: medium voltage - low voltage, stating the power at which the calculation were made.
The short-circuit losses are given in the same order as the impedance voltage with the same mention over power to which they were determined.
It is stated for maximum losses, short version simultaneously tested windings, provided it is defined according to the relationship that defines just prior assumptions losses in short everything APsc rated maximum.
During test of idling and short-circuit is necessary to give indications about the alleged incidents, which may prevent subsequent failure of the transformers (transformers with two windings).
Also during simultaneous short-circuit test of windings further incidents may occur due to the synchronous operation of the three windings, which can be detected and remedied without destroying the transformer [11 - 16].
The figure and other characteristics of the transformer, namely:
• nominal voltages(U1n,U2n,U3n);
• nominal apparent power on each
wrapper (S1n, S2n, S3n);
• their reports against the greatest power N12, N13, according to Table 1.
Parameters must be considered for calculation, that in all cases Sn1 = 100% and nominal power density of secondary windings 2 and 3 relative to the primary winding 1 are represented by the general ratio:
100%/sn 2%/sn 3%,
(1)
and which may be found most commonly as in table 1:

Thus are being defined a multitude of three-winding transformers.
3. Windings resistances with known maximum short-circuit losses

with respect to the primary.
Consider the balance of apparent power on three windings transformers:
S -(S2 + S3 ) = 0 (3)
Given the Lagrange multipliers method to find the optimum position (2) the optimized condition of equality (3), yield the following equivalent function
transformer type I
I Sn1 = 100 k = 1 ^ | ; k2 = 0 1 K 2 = 100 2
® = APœtot -( + S3)]
(4)
Extreme conditions are found when cancels the first-order derivatives of the function (4) in relation to the variables Si, S2, S3. By performing these operations and putting windings are subjected to corresponding nominal loads, it follows that:
R ■ Sn1 = R2 • Sn 2 = R2 • S,

(5)
Interpretation of relations (5) follows from the principle of operation of the transformer, the existence of a single voltage value on a single spiral, for all windings.
For fulfilling the condition of extreme conditioning is required that between windings load the apparent power must be satisfied requesting windings in this sample to be as different from each other, some may be nominal charge, as follow:

Equation (6) is replaced in (3) and it results:
ki + k2 = 1 (9)
The maximum active losses in short-circuit APsc tot max, are obtained using equation (9) in the condition (6) for transformers in table i, obtaining:

4. Calculation of winding resistance in case in which the short circuit losses on windings are known
If the short circuit losses [10^14] are not reported to the rated power of primary winding, windings resistance are calculated from the following equations:
P.c 1-2 = (( + R2)
i S \2 Sn 2
P.c 1-3 =(( + R3)
VSn1/ f S ^

Sn 2 - Sn 1

(25)
P.c 2-3 = (2 + R3)
( S Sn 3
Sn1 V ni
Sn 3 - Sn 2
In conclusion, it results that maximum short-circuit losses are obtained when the power in primary winding is maximum, and its distribution on secondary and tertiary winding is accomplished as unequal.
Taking into account the above computation results the relations for winding resistance, for each type of transformers: ■ type I transformer

Particular types of solutions corresponding to transformer types listed in Table 1 are determined from (27) or (29) through particular mathematical developments. In case of short circuit losses on windings relative to the rated power of the primary - winding, winding resistance calculation will be performed with equations (27) or (29), by putting the following condition:
Sn1 - Sn 2 - Sn 3
(32)
These calculation elements are necessary for calculating proper evaluation of longitudinal resistance to determine both the permanent arrangements for the emergency and the associated electrical substations in which they are components.

6. Conclusions
These calculations were required because transformer construction companies give their characteristics in one of the situations mentioned above, especially up to 100%, (however, up to 80%) as short-circuit loss of windings pairs unreported rated power of the transformer primary side, the rest being of TID-type transformer. These transformers are increasingly being used in the electrical power system in case of renewables.
