Vector groups are used to categorize high and low voltage in Transformers. The group number identifies the phase angle between configurations.
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
Vector group means it defines the primary & secondary side connection type of the transformer.For example DY says D for the delta connections (windings connected between two phases) & Y for the star connections (windings connected between two phases). That's why identification of the vector group of transformer is important.AnswerVector groups specify whether two or more three-phase transformers can be paralleled with each other. In order to do so, their angular displacements must be the same. Transformer connections listed in the Vector Group tables, categorise transformer connections in terms of their angular displacements.
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
Whether a transformer is 'step up' or 'step down' has nothing to do with the way its windings are connected, so it could be wye-delta or delta-wye.
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.

Generally for export only transformer, generator side is connected in delta and load side is connected in star. For export import transformers star star connection may be preferred by some since this avoids a grounding transformer on generator side and perhaps save on neutral insulation. I am not sure how correct this practice is but so many systems are running in this configuration. Perhaps it may be felt to be less harmful than operating delta system incorrectly. Yd or Dy connection is standard for all unit connected generators. The main reasons for connecting generator side winding in delta are: 1) To facilitate grounding of generator system with higher impedance and the load system with lower impedance. 2)To break The zero sequence circuit for the system at the transformer. This ensures the load side zero sequence currents do not come to the generator system. 3) III rd and similar harmonics will circulate in delta and will not come to generator system. The trafo vector group will be Dy if load voltage is lower and Yd if load side voltage is higher. Dy1,5,7 or 11 selection depends on requirement for load synchronizing ,standardizing or ready trafo availability. All vector groups are functionally similar.

Whether a transformer is 'step up' or 'step down' has nothing to do with the way its windings are connected, so it could be wye-delta or delta-wye.
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.
the connection here meant for the connection of windings in three core or limbs of a transformer. it might be delta or star connected.
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.
There are various ways in which you can connect a three-phase transformer's primary and secondary windings, or in which you can connect three single-phase transformers to create a three-phase transformer bank. For example: wye-wye, wye-delta, delta-delta, delta-wye, etc.For each connection, there is a natural phase shift between the primary and secondary line voltages. This is called the angular displacement (or 'phase displacement') of the transformer connection.If you wish to parallel two three-phase transformers, or two three-phase transformer banks, then their angular displacements must be the same (there are also other requirements not relevant to this answer).A vector group is a method of specifying a three-phase transformer (or transformer bank) method of connection and its angular displacement. Transformer connections from the same group can be paralleled. Those in different groups cannot
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.
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.
