Technical Report 24 Jan 2020

The report presents approaches used to detect open phase conditions that occur in the three phase, high voltage power supply to primary windings of grid connected station auxiliary transformers that provide energy to nuclear power plants. The report addresses:
1. The effect of an open phase condition on transformer types (shell/core) and winding configurations
2. Schemes that can detect open phase conditions
3. Location of the detection schemes
4. Discussion of open phase consequences
