I have acquired a big(4kva) three phase transformer. the
primary is a star configuration and the secondary a
single voltage delta. it is wound on three limbs of an
iron core.

Are you sure..? From my (admittedly limited and a long time ago)
experience, it's usually the secondary that's wired in star formation so
you can get three single phases plus a neutral for distribution from a
high voltage source (also usually 3 phase).

Can't help with the rest I',m afraid, my electrical engineering college
days are long behind me..!

Hi Ivor,

I think it must be a special.
The secondary is marked 170v delta
and the primary is 0,200,208,380,415,480 star.

I'll test my application out at low voltage first just in case i let the
smoke out!

regards

Bob
