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).
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.
Simple split-rail fence Log fence with double posts (photo taken in 1938). A split-rail fence, log fence, or buck-and-rail fence (also historically known as a Virginia, zigzag, worm, snake or snake-rail fence due to its meandering layout) is a type of fence constructed in the United States and Canada, and is made out of timber logs, usually split lengthwise into rails and typically used for ...
The effectiveness of any wire obstacle is greatly increased by planting anti-tank and blast antipersonnel mines in and around it. Additionally, connecting bounding anti-personnel mines (e.g. the PROM-1) to the obstacle with tripwires has the effect of booby-trapping the obstacle itself, hindering attempts to clear it.

David H. Wilson obtained United States Patent 343,939 in 1886, combining protection, an alarm bell, and telephone communications. He constructed an experimental 30-mile electric fence energised by a water wheel in Texas in 1888, which proved successful at keeping cattle separated, but was deemed impractical as a business venture.

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 ...
The first true performance-oriented Delta was the Delta HF, which was introduced in July 1983 and went on sale in September [18] after a first appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show. [19] The HF acronym—last used on the Stratos —stands for "high fidelity", and had been applied to sports and racing variants of Lancia cars since 1966. [ 20 ]
