High-leg delta (also known as wild-leg, stinger leg, bastard leg, high-leg, orange-leg, red-leg, dog-leg delta) is a type of electrical service connection for three-phase electric power installations. It is used when both single and three-phase power is desired to be supplied from a three phase transformer (or transformer bank).
A grounding transformer or earthing transformer is a type of auxiliary transformer used in three-phase electric power systems to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded wye or a delta-connected system. [1] [2] Grounding transformers are part of an earthing system of the network.
The delta winding allows third-harmonic currents to circulate within the transformer, and prevents third-harmonic currents from flowing in the supply line. [2] Delta-wye transformers introduce a 30, 150, 210, or 330 degree phase shift. [3] Thus they cannot be paralleled with wye-wye (or delta-delta) transformers.
A "delta" (Δ) connected transformer winding is connected between phases of a three-phase system. A "wye" (Y) transformer connects each winding from a phase wire to a common neutral point. A single three-phase transformer can be used, or three single-phase transformers. In an "open delta" or "V" system, only two transformers are used.
A three-phase system may be arranged in delta (∆) or star (Y) (also denoted as wye in some areas, as symbolically it is similar to the letter 'Y'). A wye system allows the use of two different voltages from all three phases , such as a 230/400 V system which provides 230 V between the neutral (centre hub) and any one of the phases, and 400 V ...
An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the equipment's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. [1] The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.

The citation in the proposed reference warnsa bout high-leg connections and shows an open-delta connection, but doesn't show an open-delta high-leg. --Wtshymanski 21:52, 17 October 2010 (UTC) Diagrams in both links show open delta high leg with two transformers. As pointed out the first link needs to be scrolled to the bottom of its page.
