A polyphase system is a means of transmitting ac power and it has N live wires with the currents phased by 360/N degrees between them. This arrangement when N is 3 or more needs no neutral wire because the return current for each one of the N wires flows back along all the other live wires.
The world-wide standard for electric power transmission uses N=3 and is called 3-phase. Power transmission needs 3 wires when the the three currents are balanced (equal) and 4 wires in other cases where the load currents might not be equal, in which case current flows in the neutral fourth wire.
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.
Yes, you can use three single phase transformers on three phase applications and interconnect them to serve as a single transformer or you could use one single phase transformer fed from two of the three lines in a step down application.
A three phase transformer is simply three transformers so, supplying one phase to a set of three transformers will result in only one phase output. Any loads connected to that transformer that are expecting three phase power will malfunction, and could fail.AnswerA three-phase transformer is NOT 'three separate single-phase transformers', as suggested in the original answer. It is a single transformer with three primary and secondary phase-windings wound around a common three-limb ('core') or five-limb ('shell') core. If a single-phase supply was applied to one of the three primary windings, then single phase voltages would appear across each of the three secondary windings and the remaining two primary windings. These voltages would not be out of phase with each other.
the necesscity of two three phase transformers operating in parallel are as follows...if the one transformer fails to give supply,then another transformer can be used in parallel and hance,continuity of supply can be maintained.one transformer can be easily take out from the supply for repair & maintanance.if the load on the substation increases beyond the rated values of transformer, then another transformer can be used to share rhe load of the substation.

Your question is rather vague. If you are asking what do you call a group of single-phase transformers, connected to supply three phase, then the answer is a 'three-phase transformer bank'.
A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.
The basic difference is the secondary voltages. On a distribution transformer the secondary voltage is very high. This is to overcome line loss for transmission of electricity over long distances. A three phase power transformer is used at the consumers three phase services end to manipulate voltages that consumers need to operate their equipment. The transformer that feeds your house is considered to be a single phase power transformer.

Any where that a three phase supply distribution is needed to operate three phase equipment.

By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.
it has three primary windings & three secondary windings.
You can use a step-down transformer to convert three-phase 600 V to three-phase 380 V. The transformer should be rated for the desired output voltage and capable of handling three-phase connections. Make sure to consult with a professional electrician or engineer when designing and implementing this conversion.
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
