3-Wire, Three-Phase Delta System (Corner Ground) see fig.5This system configuration is the simplest one , it normally used in the transmission of
intermediate voltages from 15,000V to 600V where the neutral conductor is not used. It is also used in industrial facilities by grounding one "corner"
of the System.
The corner-grounded Delta system minimize the wiring costs, and the grounded phase can be used to physically protect the other two phases from
accidental grounding or lightning strikes in outdoor settings.
The disadvantage of this system is inability for distributing power to single phase loads.

220 Volt Corner Ground (see fig.6)
440 Volt Corner Ground (see fig.7)

4-Wire, Three-Phase "Wye" System see fig.8it is the most common electrical system configuration, the ground voltage or voltage available from
phase to ground is the phase voltage divided by 1.73
As with all other grounded systems, bonds are established between the grounded neutral and all components of the system. This system is
recognized as the safest possible multi-purpose distribution system for low voltage (in the United States). Outside the United States, common
voltages are 215v/380, 220v/400v, and 230v/415v.

1- all loads must be carefully balanced on both the single-phase and three-phase legs.
2- high leg must be color identified " usually orange" to avoid using it as a single phase source because the voltage between one leg and the
grounded neutral is considerably higher than the rest of the single-phase system, high leg is located between the two lower voltage conductors.
3- don't use the "high leg" as a single-phase source because no ground or grounded neutral exists for this circuit.
