Can we connect two different transformers in parallel with the same voltage at their load and secondary side
You can only connect transformers in parallel with the
Same voltage rating
Same current ratings
Same frequency
Same Polarity
same coefficient.
Same impedance
Same vector group
Yes, two different transformers can be connected in parallel, but matching the secondary voltage alone is not sufficient.
They should have compatible:
- Same voltage ratio and polarity
- Same phase sequence and vector group
- Similar percentage impedance and X/R ratio
- Same frequency
- Compatible kVA ratings
Otherwise, circulating currents, unequal load sharing or transformer damage can occur.
