The transformer which is more feasible to use in the distribution ends should be
star-delta
delta-star
scott
delta-delta
delta-star
The Delta-Star (DeltaтИТY) configuration is the industry standard for distribution transformers. It enables a 3-phase, 4-wire system that provides both 3-phase power for industrial loads and single-phase power for domestic lighting and appliances.

VlineтАЛ=3тАЛVphaseтАЛ (Star secondary)
IlineтАЛ=IphaseтАЛ (Star secondary)
In a ╬ФтИТY transformer, the primary is delta-connected to handle high voltage without requiring a neutral, while the secondary is star-connected. The star connection provides a neutral terminal, allowing the use of VphaseтАЛ=3тАЛVlineтАЛтАЛ for domestic loads while maintaining VlineтАЛ for power loads. The neutral point is grounded, which helps in balancing unbalanced loads and provides path for fault currents.
Provides a stable neutral point for single-phase distribution.
Eliminates third harmonic currents by circulating them within the delta winding.
Efficiently handles unbalanced loads typical in residential distribution.
Grounding the neutral provides safety and protects against overvoltages.
Availability of two voltages: phase and line voltage.
Superior handling of unbalanced phase currents.
Harmonic suppression due to delta primary.
Neutral point can shift if the secondary load is severely unbalanced and not properly managed.
Requires careful insulation of the neutral terminal.
Residential electricity distribution grids.
Commercial building power supply units.
The neutral wire allows for 230V (phase-to-neutral) and 400V (line-to-line) in standard 3-phase Indian domestic systems.
Option D (Delta-Delta) is generally used for high-voltage transmission where no neutral is needed, making it unsuitable for distribution.
B is correct тАФ The Delta-Star transformer is preferred for distribution because it provides a neutral terminal necessary for domestic loads while effectively managing harmonic distortion.
Remember: Star connection on the secondary side is essential whenever you need a neutral wire, which is mandatory for most domestic low-voltage distribution.
