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 trembler coil, buzz coil or vibrator coil is a type of high-voltage ignition coil used in the ignition system of early automobiles, most notably the Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the Ford Model T. [2] Its distinguishing feature is a vibrating magnetically-activated contact called a trembler or interrupter , [ 3 ] [ 1 ] which breaks the primary ...
As batteries became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an induction coil.The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the 1908 Ford Model T used a trembler coil ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing.
Larger vehicles may have field coil alternators similar to larger machines. [9] The windings of a 3 phase alternator may be connected using either the delta or star (wye) connection regime set-up. [10] Brushless versions of these type alternators are also common in larger machinery such as highway trucks and earthmoving machinery.

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.
On the inside, the configuration of the wire windings makes it different. The stator portion of the resolver houses three windings: an exciter winding and two two-phase windings (usually labeled "x" and "y") (case of a brushless resolver). The exciter winding is located on the top; it is a coil of a turning (rotary) transformer.
