Phasor diagram showing 240 V delta and center-tapped phase (a–c) creating two 120 V pairs. Consider the low-voltage side of a 120/240 V high leg delta connected transformer, where the b phase is the high leg. The line-to-line voltage magnitudes are all the same: = = =.
The purpose of using high leg may sometimes be to provide for a small 3-phase load along with substantial single-phase loads, for which open delta works well. When the 3-phase load is large, all three are needed. I have seen more instances of open delta high-leg than with the full 3 transformers or 3-winding transformer.
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.
Lighting and general purpose receptacles are at 120 volts AC, with larger devices fed by three wire single-phase circuits at 240 volts. In commercial construction, three-phase circuits are often used. Common 3 phase configurations within a building are 208v/120 wye, 120/240 center tapped delta and 480v/277v wye. Lighting is usually fed by 277 V ...
Single-pole circuit breakers feed 120 V circuits from one of the 120 V buses within the panel, or two-pole circuit breakers feed 240-volt circuits from both buses. 120 V circuits are the most common, and used to power NEMA 1 and NEMA 5 outlets, and most residential and light commercial direct-wired lighting circuits. 240 V circuits are used for ...

College basketball teams are traveling across the country and internationally for Thanksgiving week tournaments that could boost NCAA resumes.
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 ...
