Single-Phase Transformers
Single-phase transformers normally have one primary connection to supply volt-
age and one primary connection to ground. In this situation, one secondary con-
nection will be in phase with the primary, while the other will be 180° out of
phase. The transformer polarity determines which of the secondary connections
will be in-phase. The Field Unit can be set to compensate for this phase shift
(refer to the section Adjusting for Phase Shift)
Note: The table below assumes that all measurements (primary and
secondary) were taken with the same Field Unit Phase Shift setting.
