I visited my brother in law in the big city (Manila); he lives in a mix Industrial, Commercial and Residential neighborhood were 3Phase Y or Delta (3 Transformers) coexists with 3Phase High Leg (2 Transformers).
I traced the posts and wires and both groups of transformers share the same High Voltage power lines (as well as Earth) as shown.
I was confused. How do you get 3phase High Leg, if the source High voltage power are 120⁰ apart from each other?
All the while I thought 3 Phase High Leg is derived from 2 Power lines that are 90⁰ apart.
Or did I trace the wires wrong? I am definitely sure there was only 1 set of High Voltage power lines.
Rectangles = Transformers
Green = Ground/Earth
Black = High Voltage power lines
Red = 3 Phase Industrial (no idea what voltage)
Orange = 3Phase High Leg: 120,120,208V Line to Ground (Neutral), 240V Line to Line.
