2. High-leg delta - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-leg_delta

   So if A–B, B–C and C–A are all 240 volts, then A–N and C–N will both be 120 volts, but B–N will be 208 volts. Other types of three-phase supplies are wye connections, ungrounded delta connections, or corner-grounded delta [2] (ghost leg configuration) connections. These connections do not supply split single-phase power, and do not ...

3. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   The neutral conductor is connected to ground at the transformer center tap. Circuits for lighting and small appliance power outlets use 120 V circuits connected between one line and neutral. High-demand applications, such as ovens, are often powered using 240 V AC circuits—these are connected between the two 120 V AC lines.

4. Delta-wye transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-wye_transformer

   A delta-wye transformer is a type of three-phase electric power transformer design that employs delta-connected windings on its primary and wye/star connected windings on its secondary. A neutral wire can be provided on wye output side. It can be a single three-phase transformer, or built from three independent single-phase units.

5. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   Most of the Americas use 60 Hz AC, the 120/240 volt split-phase system domestically and three phase for larger installations. North American transformers usually power homes at 240 volts, similar to Europe's 230 volts. It is the split-phase that allows use of 120 volts in the home. Japan's utility frequencies are 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

6. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]

7. Autotransformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer

   The autotransformer winding has at least three electrical connections to the winding. Since part of the winding does "double duty", autotransformers have the advantages of often being smaller, lighter, and cheaper than typical dual-winding transformers, but the disadvantage of not providing electrical isolation between primary and secondary ...
