Why Delta Star transformer Are Used For Lighting Loads?

1 Answer

Answer :

For lighting loads, neutral conductor is must and hence the secondary must be star winding. and this lighting load is always unbalanced in all three phases. To minimize the current unbalance in the primary we use delta winding in the primary. So delta / star trformer is used for lighting loads.
