The phase relationships between voltages on the sides of transformers and between like voltages in different systems is critical for specifying transformers and maintaining backup ties between systems. Not having the correct phasing relationship can lead to disastrous errors in building new facilities and maintaining existing ones. There seems to be lately considerable confusion in engineers in distinguishing between transformer bushing designations and actual electricity phase designations. A method will be shown to help engineers determine existing phase relationships using this to specify transformers and make ties correctly.
