Hi everyone , my question is I am setting up a shop that will be primarily doing woodworking. I have a welding / machine shop that has a 200 amp single phase supply that I use a 60hp phase converter to run all my machinery. I have a transformer that converts my 3 phase 240v to 600v . It is a delta to delta transformer and the system works without any problems. I have been shopping around for a similar transformer 45kva -75kva 240v-600v to handle my motor loads. I have found some coming up on auction but they are delta /wye or wye delta ? Is this going to be a problem? My electrican friend says it won't but I figure I should get a second opinion. Thanks in advance.

the only difference in wye and delta is the neutral point on wye. sure you can get into the nitty gritty of it all, but for general applications on 3ph it makes no difference.

woodworking and welding in the same shop? damn.
