Tutorial

Will not let me out of the tutorial I have completed it multiple times I just want to practice on banks and the different kind paid $20 and I can’t do anything but a tutorial over and over again

Great for storm

Excellent labs and sandbox, has literally everything

Great concept but to many bugs

App is far to clunky, not worth using when you can only wire up 1/3 of the banks due to the lines not connecting.

Very useful!!!

I’m a co-op student and I play around with this app a lot! It’s definitely going to help a lot in the future!!

Good app

Learning a lot from this app. Only problem I’ve come across is how to tie the H1/H2 bushings to the tank ground and neutral

WYE Delta is wrong

Your eye delta is wrong. Other than that good app.

Needs a bug fix

Great app just noticed that on some of the banks you can’t bus the secondary x2 to x2 bushing for delta secondary’s. It use to work but if the developers can fix that then it would get that 5th star in my book

Very helpful

The app has some flaws but nothing you can’t work around. Helped me a lot on learning transformer configurations.

Good app, but not perfect

I really like this app, I recommend it to my apprentices to learn the concept of banking transformers. What I do no like is that I can’t select to build banks with subtractive transformers. Not every system is less than 8kv. Also, when building a bank, if the wiring on the X bushings is not to the exact phase it’s drawn on the diagrams, it won’t accept the answer.

Great training reference!

This is a great app, let me just start with that.
It would be great if you could build your own banks and check voltage and what not. The set diagrams are awesome but being able to play around with different connections would make it better. Also tap changer settings and info would also be a great addition.

Basically just use it as a normal diagram

If you thought you’d be able to run a lot of different scenarios with this don’t bother. The app won’t let you do a ton of stuff and if you’re trying to use it to show an apprentice or something their mistake and recreate it digitally it almost certainly won’t accurately recreate that. Basically you build it correct or it doesn’t much do anything, not much point of this unless you really just want an interactive diagram because you can’t follow one that doesn’t have movable parts—which makes zero sense to me.

Awesome app

Awesome app helped me get my secondary connections down but it would be even better you guys added a create your own bank option just so guys can get a better grasp. Also be helpful if you could add a wye bank that stays in series. Hope to see more options in the future.

Good app kinda confused

How do you connect the h2 to the neutral everytime I tie them in I can get them to turn white but they come in upside down. How do I make them look like the picture ? I’m sure there is a way to do it but I’ve been messing with this app a few days and have yet to figure it out

Almost perfect

I’m using this app to practice my connections for my transformer class and it’s really really great well worth the 10$ but when I wire up a bank correctly it will tell me it’s wrong it only does this with the delta delta or the wye wye I will match them up perfectly with the image but still say it’s wrong I’ve even asked my teacher if they are wired correctly and he said yes. Once that gets fixed this app will be 5/5

Okay app

What I did not like is you can’t get a zero read on like phases it gives a 240 read when it is really a zero read this was wye delta bank straight 240

Timmy

Some of the answers in the advance quiz need to be fixed for the transformer selection question parts of the test. Selecting the correct transformer subtracts two points while selecting the improper voltage per nameplate is shown as correct. Please fix this as it could be confusing to anyone trying to learn.

Fuse blows when nothings wrong

When making a delta secondary hookup, when you attach the case grounds, the fuse blows and says it’s wrong. Not sure if it’s a bug or I’m im doing something wrong

Great for linemen

Great app. Highly recommend for any apprentices or journeymen looking to brush up on their banking skills. Would love to see paralleling 3 phase banks in the future. I’ve had the app for a while and have noticed new features come up, like single phase paralleling and troubleshooting.

Wrong wiring in diagram

The diagram for a 277/480 Wye/Wye bank is wrong. Also the H.V. on the transformer name plate on dual bushing transformer is wrong.

Shows wrong connection with right hook up

I’ll make a connection and check work, shows right voltage but wrong connection. Check the system’s connection and it’s exactly the same. Refresh connection and it will show it as correct. Downloaded this for my apprentices but I can’t use this app and worry about confusion or frustration. Good theory, too many bugs…
