Depends on the design criteria. A grounded star transformer winding will provide zero sequence (ground) current, so it can be used for polarizing of protective relays. The extra ground current may be a requirement of the system to guarantee protective device operation.

The three phase windings in a generator / transformer / motor can be interconnected in two ways:
STAR
If the similar ends of the coils are connected together and the other ends are connected to the 3 incoming supply service lines, that is called "star connection". The internally-connected point is brought out as the "neutral" connection. The service "line-to-line" voltage (between any 2 lines) is 1.732 times the voltage between any line and neutral. Thus we can get two voltages for distribution within a building or site to supply lighting and power. However the service line currents are the same as the phase winding currents.
DELTA
If the dissimilar ends of each winding are labelled A and B and the three windings are then connected together B->A, B->A, B->A, and the 3 incomiing supply service lines are then connected to the junctions, it is called DELTA. Here the values of line voltage and phase voltage are the same while the service line currents are 1.732 times the phase winding currents.
Additional AnswerIn Britain, the secondary windings of a three-phase distribution transformer are always star- (wye-) connected, with the star (neutral) point earthed. This provides a three-phase distribution system, with 400 V between lines, and 230 V between line and neutral. Residences are connected line-to-neutral, providing 230-V single-phase service; premises that require three-phase supplies are provided with three lines and a neutral.

How do you connect an earthing transformer with star connected secondary?
transformers transform
What types names of windings does the transformer have?
The primary winding is connected to the supply. The secondary winding is connected to the load. A tertiary winding (if used) is a third winding, which may be connected in various ways.If the transformer is a three-phase transformer, then there are three common configurations: wye (also known as 'star'), delta (also known as 'mesh'), and zig-zag.
How can a delta circuit be converted into a star circuit?
With a transformer...
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
What is the purpose of star delta connection in a transformer?
A star winding has a red yellow and blue phases. The centre point of every stay winding is used as d nuetral point. Hence the star winding in a transformer enables a nuetral point.
Where is the use of earth transformer?
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
How do you connect an earthing transformer with star connected secondary?

Is 3 phase star transformer has more winding than delta?
The # of windings in a transformer are based on the primary and secondary voltages the transformer is rated for not the way the windings are connected.
What is The Connection in three phase transformer?
the connection here meant for the connection of windings in three core or limbs of a transformer. it might be delta or star connected.
Why you use delta star transformer instead of star star transformer in a consumer plant?
Generally speaking high-voltage three-phase systems are three-wire systems comprising three line conductors, so the high-voltage primary of the transformer is delta-connected (a delta connection has only three terminals, to which the three line conductors are connected). European low-voltage three-phase systems are four-wire systems, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. To obtain this, the transformer's secondary must be star (wye) connected, with its earthed star point providing the neutral.
What is the star point of a CT?
The term, 'star point', refers to the common point of connection for the three windings of a star-connected (wye-connected) transformer connection. The star point is usually earthed (grounded) and provides the neutral point of the connection.
What types names of windings does the transformer have?
The primary winding is connected to the supply. The secondary winding is connected to the load. A tertiary winding (if used) is a third winding, which may be connected in various ways.If the transformer is a three-phase transformer, then there are three common configurations: wye (also known as 'star'), delta (also known as 'mesh'), and zig-zag.
What is the meaning of 32Yd1 on a transformer?
This is 3 Nos Two Winding Transformers put together to form of Three Phase transformer, HV is Star Connected & LV is Delta Connected in the LV phase is leading by 30 Degree with respect to HV phase
Is there a neutral on a three phase transformer?
It depends on whether you are wye or delta connected. A transformer is a transformer, and a three phase transformer is simply three transformers. The key is in how you hook them up.AnswerIt depends on how the transformer is connected. If one set of windings is connected in star (or wye), then the star point is/canbe earthed and becomes the neutral for that particular connection; this is the standard connection for the secondary (low-voltage) of European distribution transformers. In North American three-phase distribution transformers, the secondary windings are connected in delta, and one phase is centre tapped, earthed, and that becomes the neutral point for a 240/120-V split-phase supply to a residence.This answer applies to both three-phase transformers, and to single-phase transformers which have been connected to form a three-phase transformer bank. (It is incorrect to say that a three-phase transformer is simply three single-phase transformers!)
How do you connect an earthing transformer with delta connected secondary?
You have to connect each phase (R,Y & B respectively) of earthing transformer zig zag winding to each phase of power transformer delta secondary respectively. Then the zig zag winding of earthing transformer star point to be earthed.
Star-star connection of transformer?
Star Star TransformerStar Star Transformer is formed in a 3 phase transformer by connecting one terminal of each phase of individual side, together. The common terminal is indicated by suffix 1 in the figure below. If terminal with suffix 1 in both primary and secondary are used as common terminal, voltages of primary and secondary are in same phase. That is why this connection is called zero degree connection or 0o - connection.If the terminals with suffix 1 is connected together in HV side as common point and the terminals with suffix 2 in LV side are connected together as common point, the voltages in primary and secondary will be in opposite phase. Hence, Star Star Transformer connection is called 180o - Connection, of three phase transformer.Vikram Meena
