Andrew -

Please clarify something for me.  Is the utility
distribution star configured (WYE connected), rather than
DELTA?  Or are you speaking only wrt typical distribution
within a building?  (In the US, "distribution" is generally
used to reference utility power distribution, for instance,
"distribution transformer," as opposed to "facility
transformer.")

I ask because DELTA is used by utilities in the US and
Canada to simplify connections save the unnecessary cost of
running a Neutral (star reference point conductor) between
distribution transformers (or so it was 'splained to me,
Lucy).
