High leg delta, also known as wild-leg, stinger leg, bastard leg or high leg 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.
What is the purpose of a high leg?
High leg delta, also known as wild-leg, stinger leg, bastard leg or high leg 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.
Why is there a high leg in 3 phase?
In some ways, the high leg delta service provides the best of both worlds: a line-to-line voltage that is higher than the usual 208 V that most three-phase services have, and a line-to-neutral voltage (on two of the phases) sufficient for connecting appliances and lighting.
