I've got an ignorant question; can a three phase transformer be converted to run on single phase?
I was wondering if it could be done as follows:
As long as the transformer is wired in a Wye configuration, a person could tie lines A, B. & C together on the primary side creating three coils in parallel.
The three secondary coils would also be wired in parallel.
This would create a large current, single phase transformer.
Does this make any sense? How would a person calculate the output knowing the original specs?
Attached is a wye transformer diagram.
