Thus saving in copper.

2) Delta connection provides a path for the third order harmonic current and hence no
distortion because of it.
-The advantage of using transformer's secondary in star is:
1) On the secondary side, the line voltage is high and thus using star connection, the
phase voltage will be 1/3 times line voltage. Thus the cost of insulation is saved. Also,
the cost of insulation throughout the transmission line is reduced.
Distribution Side: The transformers in distribution side are step down transformers.
The HV winding is connected to source and LV winding is connected to load. Here the
LV winding (i.e secondary) is always star connected to provide a neutral point to
consumers by which 3-phase can be converted to 1-phase. The HV winding (i.e primary)
may be delta or star based upon the the KVA rating of transformers and economical
aspects of insulation and cross-sectional area of conductor to be used.
