formers connected to step down 480-V delta to 240-V
delta. It is best to obtain a 3-phase transformer rather
than to try to connect single-phase transformers. To illustrate
the complexity, standard dual-voltage, single-phase
transformers are used to change a 480-V, 3-phase delta
to a 120/208-V 3-phase wye in Figure 14-18.
WINDING TAPS
Transformers, except for small sizes, are often supplied
with winding taps to compensate for abnormally
low or high primary voltage. Assume, for example, that
a transformer is rated 480 V primary and 240 V secondary.
This means that 240 V will be the output if the input
is 480 V. But, what if the input is only 444 V? The turns
ratio for this transformer is 2 to 1; therefore, using Equation
14.3, the output will be 222 V.
