120/208 4 wire
 This bank is used to supply a three phase four wire service of 120/208 volts when only two different phase wires
are available. One of the transformers will need to be twice the KVA capacity as the others as it will have full line
current on both coils. The tank straps connected to the smaller transformers X2 bushings will need to be removed.
One of the X2’s will become a secondary phase wire. The other is removed to prevent secondary neutral current
from flowing on the case grounding system.

This connection is not a very efficient use of transformers but is useful in a temporary application or emergency.
