Best Answer

Your third leg is called the high leg and can exceed 180 or more volts. In a 3 phase panel you will loose a third of your circuits unless they are used for motors or other equipment that uses three phase evenly through its function {meaning it doesn't use one leg exclusively for controls or 110V functions. It get a bit involved explaining the windings of a transformer and center taps but suffice it to say one leg gets more than it's share of windings in the transformer. It was used in the early years of industry when single phase 240V systems were the only game in town and they wanted to get more power from the Wye set up prior to delta. It never was popular but a necessity for industry and grew only because of slow development incorporating the 208V delta 3 phase system.

What are the problems associated with the three-phase transformer connection?

One must check the design of the transformer windings. STAR - Delta or Star to star or Delta - star or Delta Delta. Wiring must be done accordingly.


What type of connection do you use in household connections?

its simple: its either single phase or three phase connection


Why Scott connection is used to convert three phase to two phase why cant you take two lines from three phase circuit?

In a two-phase connection, the phases are displaced by 90 degrees. Two lines (not 'phases') of a three-phase system will provide a single-phase supply, not a two-phase supply.


Advantages of scott connection?

to convert three phase to two phase and vice versa


What cannot be considered a single phase?

Any load that needs three legs from a three phase system can not be considered single phase. Single phase from a three phase system only needs a connection to two legs.


What is The Connection in three phase transformer?

the connection here meant for the connection of windings in three core or limbs of a transformer. it might be delta or star connected.


What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?

An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.


Is home that is 220 volts single or 3 phase?

The nominal voltages for a home service utility in North America is single phase 120/240 volts. By special permission a home will be allowed a three phase connection. The only voltage close to that is 240 volts three phase delta. In Canada three phase delta is not used any more and is replaced with a three phase four wire system of 120/ 208 wye connection. The wye connection is used primarily in commercial, industrial and apartment building services.


How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?

A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.


How can you get 3 phase connection?

If you have single phase now, you have two options. One, is to install a three phase service or Two, install a roto phase device.


What is the advantage of an open delta transformer?

An open-delta connection is a method of providing a three-phase supply, using two single-phase transformers. It is particularly useful if , say, one single-phase transformer, part of a three single-phase transformers forming a three-phase transformer bank, becomes damaged -allowing the two remaining transformers to provide a temporary three-phase supply to the load. The drawback with this connection is that the capacity of the transformer bank is reduced, and it can only provide a lower load current.


Can you use MCCB instead of fuse in a three phase connection?

Yes, three phase CDP (Central Distribution Panels) all use breakers to distribute the three phase supply voltage to their respective loads.
