The example below shows why this happens, using a transformer described in IEC nomenclature as “Yd1” or in GE Multilin nomenclature as “Y/d30.” FIGURE 5–2: Example Transformer The above figure shows the physical connections within the transformer that produce a phase angle in the delta winding that lags the respective wye winding by 30°.

Note that the Delta winding currents leads the Wye winding currents by 30°, (which is a type Yd11 in IEC nomenclature and a type Y/d330 in GE Multilin nomenclature) which is in disagreement with the transformer nameplate. This is because the physical connections and hence the equations used to calculate current for the delta winding have not changed.
