This is because the E. M. in the two coilsare not in phase. This method of connecting up trans-formers is, however, not to be recommended, as the volt-ages on the two sides of the three-wire system are apt tobecome unbalanced. If a three-wire system is desired, it isbest to use the connections shown at (c), where both pri-maries are connected to the same phase. The E. M. inthe two secondary coils are in this case in phase with eachother and the pressure across the outside wires is twice
