Yes, a wye transformer can have a high leg, but it typically occurs in a specific configuration known as a "wild leg" or "high leg" delta system. In this setup, one phase is intentionally offset to provide a higher voltage relative to the neutral, often used in three-phase systems to supply single-phase loads. However, standard wye configurations do not inherently include a high leg; it is more commonly associated with delta systems.

What is phase shift in three phase transformer?
The phase shift in three-phase transformer from winding of Transformer and determine by vectorgroup of transformer such as YNd1 High voltage connect to wye Low Voltage connect to delta so L.V. lag H.V 30 degree.Answer'Phase shift' or, more accurately, 'angular displacement', is the angle between the secondary line voltages and primary line voltages of a three-phase transformer.
Why vector group is required?
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
Can you bank three single phase transformers in a delta to grounded wye with one transformer having a different impedance?
yes
What are the problems associated with the y-y three-phase transformer connection?
Your third leg is called the high leg and can exceed 180 or more volts. In a 3 phase panel you will loose a third of your circuits unless they are used for motors or other equipment that uses three phase evenly through its function {meaning it doesn't use one leg exclusively for controls or 110V functions. It get a bit involved explaining the windings of a transformer and center taps but suffice it to say one leg gets more than it's share of windings in the transformer. It was used in the early years of industry when single phase 240V systems were the only game in town and they wanted to get more power from the Wye set up prior to delta. It never was popular but a necessity for industry and grew only because of slow development incorporating the 208V delta 3 phase system.
What is converter transformer and what its function in HVDC transmission?
It is a transformer that is made for the converters. It is (usually) wired with a Wye AND and Delta output. This allows the transformer to output a total of 12, 30 degrees out-of-phase pulses. This gives rise to many advantages with filtering, efficiency, etc...

Is a step up transformer a Ynd or a Dyn?
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.
In WYE 480VAC each leg to neutral is equal to how many volts?
In WYE 480 VAC each leg to neutral is equal to 277 volts. 480 / 1.73 (sq root of 3) = 277.
What kind of 3 phase dry type tranform is used when you are using 110V loads to balance the three phases of that transform?
It would normally be a "Delta" "Wye" transformer. Delta on the high-voltage side, and Wye on the low-voltage side. The Wye windings will give you the neutral needed for 110 v. circuits

How do you find angular displacement of transformer?
Angular displacement (sometimes called phase displacement) applies to three-phase transformers, whether a single three-phase transformer, or three single-phase transformers connected as three phase transformer bank. It is, to a three-phase transformer what additive/subtractive polarities are to a single-phase transformer.Angular displacement is one of a number of conditions that must be the same before two three-phase transformers (or transformer banks) are paralleled.'Angular displacement' is the angle by which the secondary line-to-line voltage lags the primary line-to-line voltage.Angular displacements for common connections are as follows:delta/delta transformers have an angular displacement of 0o or 180owye/wye transformers have an angular displacement of 0o or 180odelta/wye transformers have an angular displacement of 30o or 210owye/delta transformers have an angular displacement of 30o or 210oSo, for example, it is impossible to parallel a delta/delta or wye/wye transformer with a delta/wye or wye/delta transformer, as their angular displacements are different.Determining the angular displacement of a particular transformer configuration (wye-delta, etc.) can be done by drawing the phasor diagram for the complete transformer as follows:draw the primary phase voltagesdraw the primary line voltagesdraw the secondary phase voltagesdraw the secondary line voltagesmeasure the (angular displacement) between a secondary line voltage and its corresponding primary line voltage
What is the meaning of suffix YNaOd1 in vector group of transformer?
i understand that YNaOd1 represent an auto transformer with HV winding as wye connected and loaded tertiary. Please correct me if i am wrong.
How do you Ground a 3 wire service?
If you do not have a underground metal water pipe coming into the building then you put a ground rod at least 2 feet from the buildingf into the ground attach one end of the wire to ground rod run your ground wire and attach the other end to the neautral bar in the panel box. You need special transformer called as grounding transformer for this purpose. Grounding transformer is basically Wye-Delta type transformer with Wye connected winding connected to 3 line wires and derived neutral from Wye side grounded through desired grounding device. Delta side winding of grounding transformer is kept at no load.
What is DYN11 of a transformer?
It's a description of the some of the electrical properties of the transformer. This is a Delta connected highside (the D), wye connected lowside (Y) that is grounded (N) and there is a 330 degree phase shift between the highside and the lowside (the low voltage is leading the high voltage by 30 degrees).
Can you bank three single phase transformers in a delta to grounded wye with one transformer having a different impedance?
yes
