1. Open Wye-Wye
120/208 4 wire

2. This bank is used to supply a three phase four wire service of 120/208 volts when only two different phase wires are available. One of the transformers will need to be twice the KVA capacity as the others as it will have full line current on both coils. The tank straps connected to the smaller transformers X2 bushings will need to be removed. One of the X2’s will become a secondary phase wire. The other is removed to prevent secondary neutral current from flowing on the case grounding system.
This connection is not a very efficient use of transformers but is useful in a temporary application or emergency.

The five topics required by OSHA to discuss in the tailgate.
First letter from each topic = How Well Should Everyone Plan

4. Work Procedures Involved Hazards associated with the job
Special Precautions
Energy Source Controls
Personal Protective Equipment
Be sure to record your emergency location and post in a location everyone on the crew knows.
Have your PPE and First Aid kit available
Be sure your AED is accessible.
A safe job begins with a thorough inspection of…
Tools Be certain all of your tools are in good shape.
Equipment Make sure your trucks are all in working order take time to preflight your equipment and insure there are no surprise.
Line/Structure Look over the line and structure. Are there any potential hazards? (Broken insulators, damaged wire, clearances over roads or from trees?)
Be aware of your work area, be sure to cover anything you can reach touch or fall into. And anything that can reach touch or fall into you!
Discuss all PPE needed for the job and wear your PPE. Be sure to inspect your equipment prior to use. Identify all voltages you are exposed to. Be sure to have all of your Arc-Flash protective gear on.
Identify a dedicated observer
Working in traffic exposes you to hazards that are difficult to control. Give the vehicles plenty of time to see and avoid you! Follow the manual of traffic control for your area.
Slips trips and falls are some of the most common injuries, look for hazards that could cause this. Be sure to inspect and wear your fall arrest harness.
Here are the five topics again with signs and bubbles to jump start tailgate discussion!!

Gets the crew involved. Gives the feeling of knowing it is ok to ask questions, give suggestions, see something, say something!
The next slides will get directly into the task at hand. Visual, written and audio will all be used here!
There are suggestions in the notes as to what to discuss. This will get the Team involved, creating communication channels to open!

5. Hang the required hardware
Note the side that has two cutouts is opposite the system neutral. You only need two cutouts.

6. Parallel two of the transformers internally
Parallel two of the transformers internally. Leave one series internally. This transformer will need to be twice the KVA as the others.
Ground all of the transformer cases as well as the transformer cluster.

7. Remove the tank strap from the X2 bushing of the smaller left and center transformers.
Remove tank strap

8. Connect all primary H2 bushings together and then connect them to the system neutral.

9. Connect all primary H1 bushings of the center and left transformers to the left cutout.

10. Connect all primary H1 bushings of the right side transformers to the cutout.

11. Connect the center transformers X2 and the larger right hand transformers X2 together and then to the service neutral. X2 X2
