Default single phase from 3-ph

Not necessarily. He could have the Scott 4 wire.


Does any utility *ever* provide Scott two-phase power, except for a few
rare cases of feeding very old stuff?

Phil,


The only Scott connections I know about are to get 2 phase power from 3
phase. If you look at the bottom of this page


http://murrayranch.com/Electricity.htm


you can see diagrams of three, four and five wire Scott connections.


If you know of any Scott connections which provide 3 phase power, I
would like to learn about them.


You could configure two transformers with both primaries and secondaries
in a Scott configuration and wind up with what amounts to 3 to 2 to 3
phase transformation. I have never heard of this being done with pole
pigs even though you only need two of them, but someone here mentioned
pad transformers are sometimes built like this internally.
