In North America where single-phase distribution transformers for service drops are the norm, three phase service drops are often constructed using three single-phase transformers . wired in a Y configuration, this is called a " transformer bank ".

"' Electric power distribution "'is the final stage in the kV and 35 kV with the use of transformers . " Primary " distribution lines carry this medium voltage power to distribution transformers located near the customer's premises.
43.
In a secondary network system as used in urban areas, many distribution transformers may be connected in parallel, each equipped with its own network protector circuit breaker to isolate it from the secondary network in case of a fault.

:: From our article on ground and neutral, it seems that both European and North American installations generally link earth and neutral wires at some point between the final distribution transformer and the end user's fuse or breaker panel.
45.
His methods and patents in the early 1900s for the Tesla coil [ 1 ] " that were used for power distribution transformers were also used for electromagnetic medical devices " .-- talk ) 17 : 27, 10 December 2013 ( UTC)

Congress temporarily blocked the Energy Department from issuing new energy-efficiency standards for household appliances, and the department itself failed to issue new efficiency standards for electrical-distribution transformers on power lines, where about 7 percent of all the nation's power simply leaks away.
47.
The purpose of connecting the customer's system to ground is to limit the voltage that may develop if high voltage conductors fall down onto lower-voltage conductors which are usually mounted lower to the ground, or if a failure occurs within a distribution transformer.
48.
Relatively few toroids are offered with power ratings above 10 kVA, and practically none above 25 kVA . Small distribution transformers may achieve some of the benefits of a toroidal core by splitting it and forcing it open, then inserting a bobbin containing primary and secondary windings.
49.
The two companies are partners on projects such as a $ 196 million contract to develop gas turbine engines for U . S . Army battle tanks and an artillery system, and on a deal with Fortune Electric Co . of Taipei to develop lighter and cheaper electrical distribution transformers.
50.
An example would be a distribution transformer with a delta primary, running on three 11 kV phases with no neutral or earth required, and a star ( or wye ) secondary providing a 3-phase supply at 415 V, with the domestic voltage of 240 available between each phase and the earthed ( grounded ) neutral point.
