Polarity of current transformers used in relay protection

The ANSI/IEEE standard for transformers states that the high voltage should lead the low voltage by 30° with wye–delta or delta–wye banks. The connections for these two cases are shown. Polarity is very important for the operation of transformers and protection equipment. Just as water flows from high pressure to low pressure, electrical current flows in...
